Embossed Bottles

A number of embossed bottles are displayed in and near this case, Pharmacists from about 1880 to 1920 would have their name or the name of their pharmacy embossed on their bottles. As a result, these bottles have become excellent recorders of regional pharmacies. This wonderful collection was donated by William Reinhardt, who owned the Town and Country drug store in Tucson and was an avid bottle collector. It includes bottles from Tucson, Phoenix, and other towns in Arizona, California, and elsewhere in the West.
