Today's Alameda antique fair haul

[Lordbud]

How many of your local druggists also dispensed their own perfumes?
I've only come across four, all hailing from San Francisco concerns.
A different shot of the Burnett's.

Great stuff! Did you see the green Bakersfield druggist I posted in the current auctions forum?

Hey Jason,

Now that I'm back in the Bay Area from L.A can you tell me when they have that antique fair in Alameda? You scored some nice bottles and that dose cup especially!

I met Judi last fall, when we were both digging from a San Francisco dump pile near the Giants stadium...she's a great digger!

You should should send Ed Miller an email about that dose cup as I'm sure he would want to include it in his next edition.

Great finds,
Doug

Turns out the embossed Sacramento dose glass is unlisted in Miller's book, or at Bergseng's website.

There are many dose glasses not listed in Ed's book. I have fed him info on many local pharmacy items, and just becuse a glass may be "unlisted" does not mean that it is unknown. I have an extensive collection of them, including two variations of Peters'.

Yeah, I have a good couple of handfuls of "unlisted" SF pharmacy/druggist bottles in my collection, but only about 15 dose glasses, all "listed". Barnett's For Sale mailer he used to send out often had some good dose glasses listed among the shot glasses. It would seem that the dose glasses are a good deal rarer than the bottles from the same given druggist/pharmacy. Opinions?

Mike sounds like a great collection of dose glasses, post a few pictures if you get the time.

These pictures just aren't coming out nice and clear, damn digital camera with too many settings and options...an otherwise well-known SF firm Redington & Co. sample size. This one's tiny, about an inch "tall"... "Redington & Co. Manufacturers San Francisco". Wilkie do have one of these in your sample collection?
I'd always heard the Alameda monthly antique show was the place to find stuff. Also found a near-mint embossed Sac'to dose glass
for $6!but couldn't get a decent picture, and two give-away ciggie holders from an SF restaurant from the '40s/'50s, and a Los Gatos/Mountain View advertising yard stick...took three hours to walk the entire show.

Jason, you made quite a haul in Alameda. Congrats. I sure like that sample Redington. Nope, don't have one, didn't even know it existed. I'd be willing to buy or trade if you ever wanted to get rid of it or come across another.

Nice, Nice, Nice! I have two different sized bottles from the same company, I know the bottles are common though.

If any of y'all have any Sacramento dose glasses for sale, bring 'em to Vallejo on Friday.

Here are some "Sackamenna" items. Not all, just a few.

Heading up to Vallejo about 2.30pm Friday from San Jose with luck I'll have an hour to check things out until I get back on Saturday morning for the show. I'll bring a trader...just in case.
