What cities are known to have pontiled druggist bottles?

[DruggistBottles]

As far as Virginia I have a black glass pontiled Powhatan Bitters Jaymestowne.... Ok, maybe not.

Actually one of the coolest things I have done in my life was take a behind the scenes tour at the archeological dig going on at Jamestown. They let me hold some freshly dug glass they believe was made on site at the first glass factory in America. I also was able to see a lot of the glass in the store rooms. I don't think they normally had visitor drool over glass so much.

Being born in Virginia I would think I would be a magnet for Virginia bottle. Apparently not. Maybe living in the Midwest now has something to do with that.

Here is my fist Virginia pontiled druggist. It is a 3 9/16" OP Adie & Gray // Druggist // // Richmond Unfortunately it is missing part of a corner.

My other pontiled Virginia druggist I classify as a West Virginia bottle, as that is where Wheeling is today. But I could see either state make a claim. It is a 9 1/4" IP Laughlins & / Bushfield / Druggist / Wheeling. VA master ink with label. Fortunately this one is mint.

Here is my George Coster / Mobile. He was an early druggist.

Jimbo has a Coster & Coxe from Montgomery that is absolutely incredible. The first time I seen a pic of it I about fell outta my chair lol

James, do you have many St. Louis pontiled meds?

bottlekid76 - I have 10 pontiled St. Louis druggists and 4 smooth based one. For non-druggist I still have 6 or 7 medicines and a bunch of pontiled sodas. I was taking pictures of the druggist last night and will be posting them over the next couple of days. The pictures are not the best. Once I get a photo box set up again I will take some better ones. I also need to figure out how to post on here a little better. I'll try two pictures with this post. Here is a preview on the druggists...

Ok, it didn't like two in one post...

Oh nice! You have some great stuff there! I see an R&J Adams, a Pike & Kelloggs, a nice looking Leitch.

I'm looking to get R&J Adams bottles for my collection. In any color! If you ever come across a duplicate please let me know. I love the cylinder P&K too. Does yours have any iron remaining?

I'd love to know a list of your particular St. Louis examples, as I am documenting them for a future project.

I'm also a pontiled soda collector myself, especially St. Louis, as well as the early Patent sodas and mineral waters from all over.

I know, that Coster & Coxe is amazing. Maybe Jimbo will see this thread and post some more pics of it so I can drool some more [8D]

All the best,

I have 5 or 6 druggists from MA, but this one really has some character. Nice tubular pontil and great glass texture.
It is a "E. TRULL DRUGGIST / WOBURN, MASS.
