Set of Vail's Pharmacy, Rochester NY

[jane8851]

Picked these up along with some others at a local auction today. Anyone know anything about Vail's Pharmacy? Would these be used to fill prescriptions or used in the pharmacy for storage. They're a beautiful dark teal color.

Nice color - gorgeous bottles. I wonder if the stoppers are original?

Also got this flask in the lot.

I think the stoppers are original as they are exactly the same color.

They are 5" without stopper, 4" without stopper, and 3" without stopper. Hope someone comes along who knows when the pharmacy was in operation.

James A. Vail....

After studying pharmacy at Franklin Institute at Franklin, N Y., he moved to Rochester in 1879 and opened his shop which was known as Vails Pharmacy..
