What cities are known to have pontiled druggist bottles?

Used to have one of the cornflower IP examples and I sure do miss it. Nice ones as usual, Chris!

Here's another one to keep things going. This one fell out of an attic during work on a house on College St. in Macon sometime in the early 80s, and far as I know remains unique. Edward Linser Strohecker also served as mayor of Macon in the early 1850s.

1860 newspaper ad. Note that the ad says his business was established in 1825. Ought to be more bottles out there.

Outstanding And it is great to have the documents too. I like that is has "drugs and medicines" embossed I have seen the phrase in ads but not on an actual bottle.

ORIGINAL: midway49

The ip bottle is embossed "Seaton & Sharpe, Maysville, Ky"... We dug the ip also and it stayed in Maysville.

We'd love to see pictures of this one if you can swing it.

Here's a couple of pictures of the S. & S. I like the periods on the wrong side of the letters and the way the ampersand looks like it's about to fall over backwards. This is gonna do it for me, but it's been a great thread!
