New Sacramento Druggists

[Lordbud]

Nice bottles -- there are so many shape, embossing and color variants with each druggist one can collect for years and still find something new to add to the collection. I've got a couple-three Hiram Pond bottles. For what was a small town Hollister produced a good number of druggists, flasks and sodas.

I've got 22 now, so I figure there's only about 700+ more[]. I'm hoping to pick up a few more at the Downieville show next week. Funds are tight right now and I'll probably piss off the old lady, but what are ya gonna do? It's also gonna be my first show so I'll probably spend most of my time there trying to keep my jaw off the floor.

Very nice collection. It's got to be more than a coincidence that many names familiar on Baltimore bottles seem also to be on Sacramento and San Francisco? bottles. The Brack med I just dug has the same three stars, letter, and U.S.A. but also W.T. & CO. so it's a Whitall Tatum made bottle.

Finally got around to getting these posted. Got most at the Downieville show.

This guys huge at 8 1/4" tall. Still needs to be cleaned.

Traded for this one with Ron (ktbi). Thanks again.

This one dwarfed the others I had!

See!

Another big one.

See! I'm getting a smaller one next week. Can't wait.

This one has a great shape and great embossing. All around cool bottle.

See!

Has to add new shelves of course. The top two are all Sacramento. The lower one is other California cities and towns.

I should be able to help you with a few more Sackamenna pharmacies. We dig them by the dozens.

 

[CanYaDigIt]

That would be awesome! Thanks Mike, I'd really appreciate it. Like I said before too, if you ever need help on a dig I'd be glad to lend a hand.

I love that Chas. J. Peters. So how did you like your very first bottle show?I bet your chin hurts from walking around there with your jaw on the floor. Did you meet anyone else there besides Ron?
