Here is my favorite out of the 6 or 7 bottles I picked up at the bottle show in Downieville, California last weekend. I hope some of you Sacramento diggers will comment on this one for me. It is embossed WEINSTOCK/LUBIN & Co./SACRAMENTO
It stands 2 1/2 " without the glass ground stopper. It is aqua and BIM. I have never seen one of these before and I am "thinking" it's scarce (I know, thinking can be a dangerous thing).

Here is what I found out about the company but it doesn't say a lot about the bottle, ie. contents. It could be a medicine or a perfume.
In 1874 David Lubin started a prosperous mail order business with his half-brother Harris Weinstock and his sister Jeanette Levy. Lubin's One Price Store later became known as the Weinstock-Lubin Company.

Not scarce, Tim, in fact they are fairly common. Contained "Parfum".

Cool looking little bottle. I've got a perfume bottle similary embossed: SLAVEN
SAN FRANCISCO, who was a druggist/chemist that also sold perfume. The original ground
stopper is missing unfortunately, although the flea market seller thoughtfully added a non-original, non-fitting stopper in at no extra charge..seems like a good number of the known embossed Sacramento druggist/chemist/apothecary bottles aren't super rare according to Miller's book.

That's really good to know. Caldiger thinks it's a pretty common one but so far it's the first one that I've seen.

I'd like to see yours. I collect San Francisco bottles too and yours is another I've never seen.
