Collection of Edmonton druggist bottles

[Edmbottles]

These are a few of the druggist bottles that we’ve found over the past two weeks. Most of these bottles date to around 1920. I Collect Edmonton Soda and beer bottles myself my nine-year-old daughter is the drug store collector

Very nice selection there....very similar in style to what I use to find in my area..unless they are machine made I would assume they are a little older than 1920s..In my area they use to find local bottles back to the 1820s..

I have found a few bottles around where I live mainly by accident. A couple years ago I pretty much destroyed a small bottle of some type when I pushed the shovel down. I find a lot of broken glass and thats my sign to slow down and start thinking outside of metal. Old bottles are really interesting to look at and read.

Thanks for showing them. I love old bottles. A lot of them have stories to tell.

We found dated newspapers from 1921 in the hole. By the 20s some druggists we’re using machine made bottles but if they wanted embossed bottles they were still blown. This lasted until about 1930

I’ve been collecting bottles since I was the same age as my daughter. I’m 36 now
