Small glass "pharmacy" bottle
Description:
Small pharmacy glass bottle. Has "Quality" and "Purity" molded on the front. On back proper left side has numbers 3c, 2c, 1c and on proper right side has 30cc, 20cc, and 10cc molded into it. On the bottom it looks like word "bluebird" is molded into the glass. Has a rectangular shaped base. Looks as if it was used in a pharmacy. There was a Purity Pharmacy in Juneau (according to curator Ellen Carrlee). Probably has a stopper closure as there are no threads on the collar for a lid.
Notes:
Collection donated by Linda Wahto, brought in by donor's daughter Myiia Whistler. According to Whistler, Wahto and Willette Janes would hunt bottles together. Bottles found in Treadwell/Douglas area. Some are from Myiia's grandfather's house/cabin on the Treadwell Ditch. He grew up there — they tossed garbage into the ditch. Mom/Grandma and Janes would bottle hunt up at the cabin site.
