One of Colorados most sought after colored druggist bottles found !

[PikesPeakCharlie]

Yesterday was our first serious bottle hunt of 2012 ,finally The first bottle of the day was the amber " The Radio Sulfo Co Denver" with the original stopper !! we have found a few of these through the years ,but the stopper was always missing or broke off. Then had a good day of pulling glass,with an assortment of very common bottles,did get a couple of green perfumes, a Palmer perfume ,that is a fantastic teal color,and a crown perfume in a wonderful emerald green. Found the crown stopper about an hour & a half before finding the bottle . The last bottle of the day,was to be the best a much sought after teal green "JNO.SMITH" druggists bottle from Victor Colo in the quite rare 1/2oz size needless to say,there was some dancing going on. The pic of the snowcaps was our view for the day e

Those are some really cool bottles! That's also neat to find the stoppers still with the bottles.

This is the 32oz Green Victor I dug in 92 or 93 ?? as far as we know it is the only example known. Notice the color difference between the 1/2oz & the 32oz. Sadly, it has a new home .

Beautiful bottles! And very nice pictures, what kind of camera are you using?

Am I right that you found these at a pretty high elevation? That skyline looks like the Himalayas!

Still haven't seen anything that would tell you that the druggist was coloured.

 

[PikesPeakCharlie]

Heepie ,about 9,400 feet.& using a Kodak V1073 . Gord,,,, don't know what to tell ya ,its colored because the glass is green not clear

 

[gord]

That was a joke - referencing the druggist, not the bottle.

 

[PikesPeakCharlie]

Sorry Gord, I'm little slow,went right over my head ,I finally noticed the spelling
