Picked up some rare Texas meds yesterday!

I agree up until about 1880. Once the rails came there was not stopping us. We dig bottles from all over Texas, Oklahoma and the rest of nation in 1880 forward dumps.

Thanks for your comments.

It makes sense though. TOBIN had another bottle only in amber, same shape, a bit newer and it was embossed hepta-ozone. This could be one of it's earlier incarnations.

That bottle isnt embossed HEPAT-OZONE? I was assuming it was...

Yes there is a embossed hepta-ozone bottle, but what I was getting at is he could have just slapped a label on the earlier amber liver med.

Of all my austin bottles my samotz's hypnotique is my favorite. Such a great name.

Those are some great southern locals. It's such a rush to finally land one that you've chased for years, especially when there are so few, if only one example known. Congrats, bro

Hey Brad you forgot the Cotton patch Bitters from Terell, Tx.

Pic of the two bottle you were talking about below.

Also the Courtney Texas bitters.

The bottles that loom large over my collection needs are the two Texas bitters that I want so badly. I know where both of them reside, but when he decides to sell them I just hope I can come up with the cash. One is the American Hepatitic Bitters, and the Other is the Blood Purifier tonic Bitters. I may have sell a kidney off, but it will be the only chance I ever have to own them.

Killers! Anybody got pictures of the Cotton Patch Bitters? You've piqued my curiosity on that one.

Of all places, I was able to see and hold the Dansbey's(?) Cotton Patch Bitters at the Smyrna, Ga. show yesterday. The owner moved to Georgia from Houston a few years ago. I saw a few Texas flasks in a case on his table and was asking him about my Wichita Falls strapside and he was nice enough to show me the Cotton Patch. What a great name!
