Wanted: 'picture' druggists bottles

[stephengray]

Dean, the bottle on the right is the exact one I have. I bought it for 4 bucks about 10 years ago and just held on to it. Today is a nice day and I woke up not sick (well, not as sick, I had the swine flu) so I will find the OKC and get them in the mail tomorrow. I will insure them for you and wrap them with bubble wrap. I am looking forward to seeing the bottles I traded from you also.

Thank you wvhillbilly, I will think about your bottle, it does have a nice graphic on it. I try to stay with traditional druggist bottle shapes for my collection though. What is that picture, is it an egyptian phoenix?

 

[stephengray]

Thanks for the message. I would be interested in an extra if you ever dig another one. Watch me say that and the next time you go digging you will find one.

I used to live in Waukegan, IL and knew a guy who collected Wis. bottles. He had some of those druggists and some I saw at a couple of bottle shows, guess I should have picked them up. I had a great picture druggist from Menomonie but sold it as I was not collecting picture drugs then. I have a pencil rubbing of it downstairs somewhere. By the way, I collect any Waukegan, Il. bottles.

Oldtimer, I have that bottle in the exact same size and everything. Found it at, of all places, a antique shop in Fort Worth, Texas. Mine is dark purple but it has a burst bubble on the front. What do you want for it?

Here are some more of my picture druggists. My pictures are not great though, still learning how to use digital camera.

Lion from Atchison, Kas. 8 ounce size.
