DS-1 3 3/4" tall, rectangle form with the front panel having beveled edges, clear glass with slight amethyst tint. BIM, with a tooled ring lip. Embossed on front : " BOWMAN'S / DRUG STORE / FORTUNA, CAL " Bottle is in super mint condition with no chips, cracks, stain or dings. A rare little western drug store bottle from a small Pacific Coast town. SOLD

DS-2 Unlisted 7 1/2" tall, rectangle form with beveled edges and panels. Clear glass, early ABM bottle. Embossed on front panel only : " GEO. Z. WAIT CO. / SACRAMENTO / CAL. " Bottle is in near mint condition with no chips, cracks, scratches or dings. Just some spots of inside haze ( mainly on the side panels. Nice, uneven glass with a few waves in the back take back anything that the haze might take away. Still, a nice, unlisted western drug or pharmacy bottle! I have never seen another of these bottles. So, I would guess that they were not made for a long period of time? $30.00

DS-3 5 1/16" tall, BIM, rectangle form with rounded sides, tapered collar lip, clear glass with a slight amethyst tint of the glass. Base is smooth and has " REX " embossed in cursive. Embossed on front panel : " S. G. SKIDMORE & CO. / DRUGGISTS / 151 - 3rd ST. PORTLAND, ORE. " A nice western drug store bottle that is in near mint condition with only a couple of light scratches, some light inside haze that looks like would clean with some TLC and a small open bubble on the left side. None of which are major problems. Quite a name for a druggist! $18.00

DS-4 6 1/4" tall, including attached dose cap, cobalt blue glass, square shape, BIM with a smooth base. Embossed on the front vertically : " JOHN WYETH & BRO. " Dose cap is attached to the top of the bottle and is embossed : " THIS CUP HOLDS A HEAPING DESSERT SPOONFUL " Bottle is in super mint condition with complete content ( potassium bicarbonate ). The bottle has never been opened. Also, has full, complete label and comes with the original box. The box does have some wear and is missing some of the top tabs. A great find though! $85.00

DS- 5 5 3/4" tall, dark sky blue or light cornflower blue color (very nice), squared, rectangle shape with beveled corners, drippy, applied round collared lip and a smooth base. Embossing reads on front only : " DICKEY / PIONEER / 1850 (within a mortar & pestle) / CHEMIST / S. F. " Nice bubbles and textured glass gives this bottle character. Bottle has a couple of light spots of haze towards the base on the front and left side panel. I am, again, being very picky! this does not take anything away from this piece. No chips, cracks, dings, or scratches. These bottles come in a wide variety and range of colors. Do you have this color yet? A very nice, older, rare colored, western drug bottle with a drippy lip that will thrill you! $115.00

DS- 6 5" tall with glass stopper in, rectangle form with rounded corners. Clear glass with a ring lip and smooth base. Label under glass reads: " LYSOL " Label is made of enamel and has white lettering on a red background all bordered by a box done in gold leaf. Glass over label is complete and in mint condition. Base is embossed with: " W. T. CO. U. S. A. " Bottle is mint except for the inside residue left because the stopper is stuck in the top. No problems at all! A rare Lysol bottle made for a druggist or chemist to dispense from. SOLD

DS-7 6" tall, oval shape with a front flat panel that is sunken in. Clear glass, seam over ABM bottle. Embossed on front: " THE N. E. WILSON CO. INC. / PHARMACISTS / VIRGINIA ST. OPP. P. O. / PHONE 425 / RENO, NEVADA. " Near mint condition with no chips, cracks, dings, or scratches. Just a very light front and back haze to the glass that looks like would clean with a good scrubbing. A few large air bubbles in the glass. A nice Nevada drug store bottle! SOLD

DS-8 5 1/2" tall, Rectangle shape, clear glass (turning purple). Embossed on front: " 3 IV " near shoulder " POWELL'S / PRESCRIPTION / PHARMACY / REDDING, CAL. " Base has " W T CO. USA " A nice bottle from a small (was then) Northern California town. Bottle is in near mint condition! Two pin point pings on the heal are the only problem. You really have to look hard to see these. Only noted for accuracy and does not take anything away from the beauty of this bottle. SOLD

DS-9 5 1/4" tall including lid, round jar. Made of milk glass. Front label and orange & gray lines are ACL. (applied ceramic label) Not antique, probably circa 1970 or 80, but an interesting advertising piece for the narcotic " DARVON " I would think that these were given out by drug company representatives to doctors or surgeons. The ironic thing about it was that the jar probably held candy for the doctor and or staff to eat. What kind of advertising was that? Mint condition! $20.00

DS-10 A FLYING MORTAR 4 3/8" tall, BIM, rectangle form, clear glass with a square collar lip. Embossed vertically on the front : " THE SUN ( a winged mortar & sun ray lines) DRUG CO. " Embossed on the back shoulder : " THE SUN DRUG CO. " Could this be a copy of the Owl Drug Co. bottles? This bottle is in mint condition with only some light haze that looks like would clean. Pictures didn't turn out very clear, sorry! SOLD

DS-11 ( 3 FOR THE PRICE OF 1 ) A We have here, 3 The Owl Drug Co. bottles for sale.

All with a flat collar ring lip. Embossed on the front: " picture of a winged owl sitting on a mortar & pestle " On the back is embossed " THE OWL DRUG CO. " These bottles do have some problems. The worst being 2 chips on the lip of the large bottle, a flake on the lip of the medium bottle and a ping on the lip of the small one. All bottles have some minor scratches and dirt, that would clean. Some nice bottles with the 7 3/4" being a tuff size to get. That one alone in mint condition would sell for $45. Take all 3 bottles for.............. SORRY! THESE ARE SOLD

DS-12 7 1/4" tall, round form ( probably a citrate ), dk. aqua glass, BIM bottle with an almost applied, rounded collar lip and a smooth base. Embossed on the front in very bold letters : " W J M GORDON / PHARMACEUTIST ( misspelled?) / CINCINNATI, O " This bottle is in near mint condition with only some light, spotty inside haze.
