You are bidding on a BEAUTIFUL SPECIMEN........ANTIQUE TOLD 1890s ERA....AND TOUGH GOLD RUSH TOWN WITH FEW LISTINGS..... RARE LARGE SIZED, ABOUT FULL 7" TALL Antique pharmacy / drug store bottle once used at A DRUG STORE, PHARMACY called " J.G. McLAUGHLIN DRUGGIST - CENTRAL BLOCK (DRUG STORE)" in the old scenic beautiful Gold Rush highway 49 downtown AUBURN, CALIFORNIA
recently I sold a small variety of this drug store bottle....offered here is a rare large size...great color...tough to find big ones (from same lifetime collection)
THE ORIGINAL OWNER THOUGHT THIS WAS A SCARCE MERCHANT VARIETY TO FIND IN THIS PRISTINE CONDITION & THIS SIZE...IT HAS A HIGHER RARITY BUT A TOUGHER TOWN WITH FEW DRUG BOTTLES LISTED.....AND HE WOULD KNOW...HE WAS THE LATE AUTHOR ED MILLER WHO WROTE THE "BIBLE" OF CALIFORNIA DRUG STORE BOTTLES AND DOSE GLASSES...
THIS IS BELIEVED TO BE FROM 1890'S....NO INFO PROVIDED IN THE TOYNTON CATALOG
THIS IS A GORGEOUS UNCLEANED SPECIMEN....HOPING YOU CAN TELL HOW NICE THIS ONE IS FROM MY AVERAGE PICTURE TAKING ABILITY :)...THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL BOTTLE,....CAN FIND NO DAMAGE, DISPLAYS NICELY
THIS EX-MILLER BOTTLE HE CONSIDERED SCARCE TO FIND THIS NICE, HE WOULD CONTINUALLY UPGRADE CONDITION SO THIS WAS NICEST EXAMPLE HE FOUND...JUST A GREAT LOOKING BOTTLE...(felt it was very tough to find this nice, and this large size)
The historic and beautiful old town of AUBURN goes back to the California Gold Rush 1849 era and is located in PLACER County...not far Cool, Pilot Hill, Loomis and Newcastle California
The bottle is what I would call a rich purple colored glass, it is a large size and stands full 7" tall ...and it is a very beautiful specimen, just has not been cleaned at all but glass is great., neat bottle. Crisp embossing on this one......no damage i could find, would turn deeper purple if exposed to sun...displayed with old cork
Gallery pictures should show you all you need to know, took pictures from many angles. (see gallery pictures)
Nice antique ANTIQUE CIRCA 1890's ERA...TOUGH TOWN WITH NOT MANY LISTED DRUGGISTS....BEAUTIFUL & A SCARCE TO FIND THIS CHOICE.....DRUG STORE MERCHANT 7" TALL VARIETY once used at "J. G.
