Product medicine dose measuring glass advertising GUN WA'S CHINESE HERB AND VEGITABLE REMEDIES from Denver, CO

FOR THE "PRODUCT PEOPLE" OUT THERE...

PRODUCT GLASSES are those dose glasses that advertise specific products which were offered or sold to customers. Product glasses are of particular interest to many bottle diggers and hunters who seek them to compliment their collections of Bitters, Cures, Remedies, Patent/Proprietary Medicines, etc. Collecting product glasses is one way to specialize or focus a dose glass collection. As you will note, the line between product glasses and druggist glasses is sometimes blurred, as in the example of USE / ATWOOD'S / SARSAPARILLA / F.C. ATWOOD / WINTERPORT, ME. This also goes to show that in collecting dose glasses, there is considerable crossover between different areas of interest. With product glasses, one often has to do extensive research to link a product to a particular druggist, manufacturer or region of the country (city, state, etc).
