THIS IS A TOUGHER TO FIND DRUGGIST WITH A HIGHER RARITY IN MILLER BOOK, AND THIS DRUG STORE STARTED AROUND 1888 IN OLD HISTORIC L.A.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TINY SIZED VARIETY...IT IS PALE PURPLE COLOR, NEVER REALLY BEEN EXTENSIVELY IN SUN....AND A NICE UNCLEANED SPECIMEN....HOPING YOU CAN TELL HOW NICE THIS ONE IS FROM MY AVERAGE PICTURE TAKING ABILITY :)...THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL BOTTLE, JUST A NICE BOTTLE.....CRISP EMBOSSING, AND JUST A BEAUTY....I have a friend who calls these "shadow box" bottles, so tiny you can actually display in that style frame.
ORIGINAL OWNER CONSIDERED SCARCE TO FIND.., AND HE WOULD KNOW....HE WAS THE AUTHOR OF THE CAL DRUG CATALOG...IT IS CONSIDERED THE SMALLEST SIZE MADE (WHICH HE FOUND FOR THIS EARLY DRUGGIST)...COULD BE DISPLAYED IN A SHADOW BOX, ABOUT 3" TALL, BUT IN GREAT SHAPE...POSSIBLY 1 OUNCE SIZE

The bottle is what I would call light clear to purple colored glass, it is the smallest size, and stands a micro size 3" 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.. would likely turn darker purple...original owner had cork in this one, so it comes with
