A 2 inch tall x 2 1/4 inches wide cylinder-shaped WHITE MILK GLASS colored antique OWL DRUG CO jar. A very unique jar with a small little white SNOWY OWL embossed on the base and a jar that MANY have never even seen. Note that this is an ORIGINAL ANTIQUE, a very early jar as it has the older, OFF CENTER - ONE WING bird embossed on it.
These little milk-glass base-embossed Owl Drug jars are rarer than rare. These come in at least five sizes as unbelievable as that seems, as we have had five (5) DISTINCTIVELY DIFFERENT sizes at one time, but they may even come in more. This one here is a mid-size example. All of them have the early off centered one-wing birds embossed on them, we've not ever seen the newer two wing bird embossed on the base. The rumor from back in the early days of collecting Owl Drug bottles, was that these milk glass Owl Drug jars, with embossed owls on the base, had come out of the Los Angeles area. As far as I can remember there are no documented findings of them being found anywhere but in the vicinity of old Los Angeles. Even this one seems to back that as it was dug in the SW, New Mexico to be exact. There are not too many old time owl collectors around anymore, but some of those that are know what I am talking about. This is the first one I have heard of being dug in a long time, since the 1970's, as no one is digging heavily in L.A., like it was being dug in the beginnings era of bottle collection, 1950's - 1970's. Anyway, this little jar here is RARE x 100, check it out!
