What cities are known to have pontiled druggist bottles?

[blobbottlebob]

There actually is at least one pontil medicine from Wis. An UNCLE SAMS COUGH SYRUP from OCONOMOWOC, WIS. ...jeez what a town name.. Not a druggist though.

As far as Wisconsin goes, not too many pontils. A few early mineral waters (from Madison, Milwaukee, Whitewater) several bitters (from Milwaukee. Madison and Lacrosse) and only one druggist - and its a paper label at that. Its labelled F. Dohmen , Milwaukee.

I have a paper label only medicine "Uncle Sam's Anglewood and Wormwood Oil Liniment". It was made by the Standard Medicine Co Minneapolis MN. It is on an olive green bottle with a kick up. Not pontiled but it looks early. It was found in the wall of a building in Colorado that dated to the 1860s or 1870s. I wonder if it is related to the Wisconsin medicine.

Looking at the Rhode Island bottle book online

I see the following two pontiled druggists:


CHAPIN & THURBER / APOTHECARIES / NO. 31 MARKET St. / PROVIDENCE

oval, open pontil, aqua 4-3/8", 7-1/8", 7-1/2"

A. MORSE / DRUGGIST / PROV. R.I.

rectangular with large beveled corners, iron pontil, aqua, 9-1/2"

Wow, that's a nice. Looks like they used the same lipping tool on both bottles.

York, Pa has at least two open pontiled meds, with Druggist and York, Pa on them. One is C.A. Morris and the other is shown here in three different sizes and lip finish, E. T. Miller.

As mentioned already in the other thread York has a good book entitled Bottles & Jugs with a York Pennsylvania perspective. It has lots of history behind the bottles and a couple addendums? have been published.
