Anyone know if there was ever a book, pamphlet, ect done specifically on the hospital bottles? There are quite a few variations.

Hi-excellent bottles-what a great collection !

Hey Matt, if someone has, I haven't been able to find it. I have gotten a lot of good info on them off the net but a lot of the info is redundant. I would love to see more info on these historic pieces . Robert J Dalessandro has a nice article on them (off Google) and fellow forum member Mike Russell (Pontilled) is a knowledgeable source, but as far as a book or pamphlet on strickly these bottles, I can't find one.
Thanks Cindy and John!

Hey Kelley, Is that your retirement fund? Very nice group of bottles. Don't you wish they could talk.

Antique Bottle and Glass Collector magizine had a good article on them a couple years back.

Hey Cap, yeah I wish they could talk. They made it from the Civil War , through the Indian Wars, and right up till 2003 when I plucked them out of the ground! It's not my retirement fund, but my two Grandson's inheritance![] I can only hope they don't sell them but when I'm worm food I guess I won't care anyways! LOL! I've got quite a few more but my camara is kinda suckin right now.
Thanks for the tip on the article Steve. I will try to archive it and see if it is something I haven't read. Kelley
