Things got exciting at the big dump
when a friend dug an A.J. Johnson Jr. (owl) Pawtucket, RI
medicine. It is the only pictorial Pawtucket pharmacy, so I was very
exited when he agreed to part with it in a trade.
There was some activity on ebay with a
W.E. Cates Pharmacist Providence, RI medicine. No Cates with
a mortar and pestle are listed, so it's a new one!
Recently one of the biggest dose glass
collectors in the country decided it was time to sell his collection.
I made two purchases, and much to my anguish the USPS lost one of
the boxes. Thankfully the box with the embossed glasses made it.
Among them was a W.H. Hinds Providence, RI dose cup.
Also in the lot was a Hall &
Lyon Providence & Waltham dose cup. I really like two state
bottles, and now that includes two state dose cups!
The big dump produced another exciting
find, a nice medicine embossed Morgan in script. Sadly it was
damaged, but it is definitely the same from the same Morgans Pharmacy
my friend had!
