The product is a vintage 2-piece Jeanne Robinette Porcelain Apothecary Jar with the label "Theominal R.S. Pharmacy." This collectible item was manufactured in the United States and is approximately 5-1/2 inches tall. The apothecary jar would have been used in a pharmacy setting for storing and dispensing medicinal products during the 1930s-1960s, reflecting the history of pharmaceutical practices and advertising. This item would be a valuable addition to any collection of medical memorabilia or vintage pharmacy artifacts.
This piece specifically came from a gentleman’s personal collection by the name of John Burkhart. He owned Burkhart Pharmacy in South Bend, In. from 1959-1969 with his wife. In 1969 they moved further south and the former Hans-Bergman Pharmacy became Hans-Burkhart Pharmacy. They operated that business until 1992. They were an anchor of the south side for 33 years serving the community and creating a family atmosphere for patrons and relatives alike. After closing their doors in March of 1992, John continued to serve as a pharmacist at Osco and K-mart until retiring in 2007 at the age of 83.
