Today's Alameda antique fair haul

[CALDIGR2]

More... Even the oak medicine cabinet is from Sacramento. The embossed monogram is STCO, for Star Towel Co.

Alameda? isnt that where they keep the nuclear vessels?[]

OK, last one. 1900 calendar from T.W.McAuliffe, a local druggist. Bottles are very common, other things aren't. Sorry 'bout the lousy photo, but I had to kill the flash to stop the glare.

That is one nice advertising calendar, and the sampling pictured in this thread (from your dose glass collection) numbers about as many glasses as I have in total, I believe my tiny collection of glasses stands at about fifteen total. []
I've got mostly SF glasses with a few South Bay cities represented including a nice dose spoon from Santa Cruz.

Funny how these things get going. I started assembling dose glasses after digging just one. Collecting advertising has been a favorite for many years, too. That stuff is WAY more expensive than bottles. Well, for the most part, anyway. This big old thing came from a local drug store, too.

I count myself lucky to match an embossed local bottle with a trade card from the same firm.
Those beautiful framed advertising pieces are beyond my financial capabilities for the most part.
Once I get over this Golden Gate bottle show fever, I'll try and start a "local bottles with labels" thread.
I recently went and repacked my labeled bottles with acid-free plastic so it's about time I tried some photos.

A fellow digger has a bunch of unusual SF pharms that he wants to sell, but they are in storage and he can't get to them right away. He's not computerized, so landline is the only way to communicate with him. He wants contacts of those who may be interested in buying a few of them.
