Do you have any extra SF pharmacists/druggist for trade.........because I have extra Sacramento/Stockton/Marysville ones that I would like to do a trade with you even if it's just one for one.

Let me know,

Jason,
Very impressive collection!
Back in the late 70's early 80's I used to do a lot of work around the Los Altos area.Used to dig up a lot of stuff,but that was when my hobby was giten drunk so I never was able to hang onto anything I dug[&o].

Awesome collection of Druggist bottles. I love the bottle with the snake on it.

I saw that slug plate and it went for upwards of $80.00. If I hadn't just attended the Auburn show...and Christmas wasn't coming...and I didn't need to pay rent...well, then I would have gone for some bidding on this item. Funny how the necessities of life end up taking precedence over all the fun stuff. [] Almost 10 years ago a small group of slug plates came up on ebay and three of them were local to me. At that time I was still married so I didn't bid on much of anything back then...

I was watching that slug plate too; it's design is beautiful, just like the bottle it made!


So Jason, I'm intrigued by your button hook collection, so thought of you when this was posted on craigslist. (see below)
Also saw a "Triangle Shoe Company Pomona Calif" hook at an antique store in Manteca yesterday.




Antique High Button Boots c. 1900 - $80 (San Francisco)


Vintage black HIGH-BUTTON LADIES BOOTS. Made of leather and wool. These shoes are over 100 years old, and in very nice condition. They're small and very narrow, so they're great for display but not for wearing.

Anything from $5 - 10 is fair price-wise for a California hook. I've got about six hooks I'm waiting on from various ebay "wins". I don't have the Triangle hook from Pomona so if you happen to be in Manteca again and it's cheap I would gladly reimburse you should you be able to pick this Pomona hook up. I do in fact have a different hook from Pomona.

The old shoe would have been what a button hook would be used for. Hooks were a necessity with that many small buttons.
Considering how long ago buttons were replaced by laces it amazes me that hooks were saved. Hooks being small they were likely pushed to the back of a drawer and forgotten about.

The only Western states I don't have represented so far are Utah and Wyoming.
