You rarely find hand blown quart size glass pharmacy bottles whole and if you do, only about 1 out of 100 are embossed. Few of them were made to begin with even fewer were ever embossed with a pharmacist's name on it, especially from a small town like Santa Cruz. Of the ones that were made not many have survived the elements of time as they were so susceptible to breakage in this giant size. Something this large and fragile rarely made it through life without breakage and even if they weren't broken before or while being disposed of, there was the perils of kids searching out the old dumps looking for something of this magnitude to line up as a rock-throwing target! I know; I was one of them. Even the large chain drug stores in the cities rarely paid to have embossed bottles in the quart size as they were very expensive, it took a lot of effort to create a functional glass vessel this large, and there wasn't a lot of pharmaceutical prescription products that required a bottle this large. So most of the old time pharmacies did not bear the expense to have the personal name of the drug store embossed on it. To find one of these bottles that is embossed, ESPECIALLY from a small rural community like SANTA CRUZ was when this bottle was produced, is quite a rare find, check it out!Terms of Sale: Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.
