Once again I am offering a bottle I know nothing about. Like most pharmacy bottles, the value depends mostly on rarity and the number of collectors interested in local pieces. I have no knowledge of these factors. This was acquired at a recent estate auction where I paid too much for what I got. I am offering ths for $25.00, what I would pay for such an example from the two areas I collect or will trade for something I like better. It is embossed: "Whiting's (fancy underline) / DRUG STORE / OROVILLE, CALIFORNIA. California being spelled out is unusual in my experience. The bottle is 6 3/4" tall, about 8 or 10 ounces, is damage free with only a little inside stain. It really is a nice piece and a very good size. As they say, "Bigger is Better".
