Antique pharmacy
/ drug store bottle once used at
A DRUG STORE, PHARMACY
called "
E. L. SMITH DRUGGIST (DRUG STORE)
" in 1900's era, in old downtown
VISALIA, CALIFORNIA
THIS IS A TOUGHER TO FIND DRUGGIST..IT IS PALE CLEAR TO LITE PURPLE COLOR, NEVER REALLY BEEN 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, LARGER SIZED
ORIGINAL OWNER CONSIDERED SCARCE TO FIND.., AND HE WOULD KNOW....HE WAS THE AUTHOR OF THE CAL DRUG CATALOG... AND THIS DRUGGIST STARTED IN VISALIA IN EARLY 1900'S ERA
The scenic town of VISALIA is located in TULARE County....not far from Sequoia National Park, and towns of Tulare and Exeter Cal
The bottle is what I would call light clear to purple colored glass, it is a larger size, and stands 6" 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
Gallery pictures should show you all you need to know, took pictures from many angles. (see gallery pictures)
