Here is a nice biblical name... Abijah!
Other side says "established in 1836"

I would love to have some extra pontiled Adam’s! Theo has been after me for the one I have. It is a slightly bluish teal shade he actually doesn’t have There are a few smooth based druggist pictured in the case. Unfortunately the Pike & Kelloggs is one. As I post each I will give dimensions etc. I am still learning how to post on here so bare with me. I also need to make a photo box.

Oh and yes the buldged neck one is a Samuel Simes from Philly. One of my favorite shaped early druggist.

Excellent druggists Earlyglass! Is the amber one pontiled?

Some beautiful glass there Mike! I love how you captured the whittle, very nice!

Yeah James, I think everyone in St. Louis and the rest of Missouri is looking for the Adams! I have a friend who has a strong teal, and an emerald green example as well as two aquas. Theo has a great run of them too, one of the best actually.

I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but there is an aqua rectangled open pontiled R&J Adams druggist bottle known, only one that I know of tho. I believe it's around 4-5 inches tall.

Thanks again for any info on your St. Louis examples that you can provide.

All the best,
~Tim

I think I saw a pontiled Mississippi druggist for sale a few years back. I'll have to see if I still have a record of it. It might have just been a medicine (also extremely rare). I was trying to collect southern pontiled medicines but never saw many! And those I did see I could not afford. That's when I decided to focus on druggists as I was always seeing those. I have about 10 non pontiled Mississippi druggists but no duplicates. However, I am starting to inventory all my druggists (300+) and may part with some that are not in color or with a graphic. Someday I plan to write a book on druggist bottles. Well up to the point someone else writes one…

Wow, I love the Tucker from Mobile!! Now I just need to sell 70 of my comon druggists... Hm, maybe that will be a goal for me to start selling again. I assume this is the same Tucker that later had the SARRACENIA LIFE BITTERS?
