SCARCE Colored DRUGSTORE - Dr. PEDRO MORALES, Farmacia Diaz Reina 71 - HABANA ! - $150 - (Bethany, MO)
SCARCE Colored DRUGSTORE - Dr. PEDRO MORALES, Farmacia Diaz REINA 71 - HABANA ! Front is embossed inside a large tombstone slugplate in fancy lettering in 3 different styles: Farmacia Diaz DR. PEDRO MORALES Reina 71 Habana. Embosed across the front shoulder is 3vi. Very unusual style embossing. Probably an early US Whitall Tatum bottle but not marked as such, would have been made for this pharmacy in Cuba. Larger size, about 6-1/8 inches tall, about 2-1/2 inches across. Prescription bottle shape and lip - probably 1880-1900 or there-abouts. Mold blown, seams end down on the lower neck/upper shoulder area. All of the embossing on the front is very clear and readable. Looks to be a NON dug bottle to me or maybe a surface find, no real ground wear, haze or dirt - would be an excellent candidate for a quick easy polish/tumble - NO damage at all - see photos below - THANKS !!!” I'm being overly picky on condition explanations as this is a pretty scarce drugstore bottle I've been told - really its a beautiful condition bottle in a scarce large size !!! Color is very pretty light bright shaded honey yellow amber with maybe a hint of olive amber tint in just the right light. Bottom line, its a BIG BEEFY colored drugstore in a condition thats sure to please. Larger photos below: Now, here is a group shot of a collection of 5 colored drugstores that I will be selling soon - this auction is ONLY for the tall amber one shown in the center (please note the RARE bright green Kansas City, MO Loves Drug Store next to it on the left !!!): Please review all photos and read the description carefully and/or ask questions before bidding. Shipping cost is for US buyers only - other bidders please email for shipping cost as rates will be different. NOTE: Please wait for my invoice before paying so proper shipping costs can be determined !!!! Thanks for looking and good luck if you choose to bid !!!
