Hello everybody,

I collect picture, or slogan, druggists bottles and would like to see if the bottle collectors here could help me out. I collect them from all over and I have some examples here to show what I want. I started collecting these a couple of years ago and really like them. They do not take up a lot of space and usually cost less than most other bottles as compared to sodas, bitters, etc.... I also collect Oklahoma bottles especially McAlester, North McAlester and South McAlester ones. Please let me know what you have. Even if you have a bottle that is not sale I would like a picture of it so that I know what is out there. Thanks for your time.

This Quaker Drug Company is from Seattle, Wash.

Hello, I have seen a few of these Deetken bottles. I used to live in Rapid City, S.D. and saw one for sale and a local bottle collector had a couple of different sizes. The aqua older style bottle that looks like a patent medicine is more common than this one. I have druggists from Terry, Lead, Deadwood, Rapid City, and Hot Springs but not the one you have. I would love to be able to dig one also. Great bottle!

im assuming this was towards the end of his career/life (passed in 1915 or 16). Has to be early 1900's to then. i'd love to know what that picture is supposed to be on the bottle.
This one is 3.5" tall.

I can't see your picture real well but it looks a lot like the one I found the other day. I have found one like this before but sold it. I have always liked this design. It looks like it was a hand held mirror or a fan with the Druggist's initials on it.

Hey Stephen, neat Quaker you got there. Does this monogram count?

Hey Stephen,
I've got a few in my limited medicinal collection. Here's one with a drug dispensing paddle. I think that this design would be popular but I can't think of any others like it from around here.
