Ogden Utah Druggist and Pharmacy Bottles From the 19th and 20th century

By

Blake Peterson & Ivan Oakeson

Original printing 1998

Revised edition 2012 / 2018

The information within this book has been collected from many hours of research through old city

directories, newspapers, historians, fellow diggers, and collectors.

The addresses and dates listed for the various Druggists & Pharmacists are what have been found through

research. Some of these businesses were in operation for a greater span of years than have been listed, but

through research I was unable to positively document that. Some businesses may have chosen not to pay for

listing in the directories every year, which are shown with gaps in years of operation. Some druggists /

pharmacists may also have had business locations other than what are listed within, that weren’t discovered

while researching for this book.

The numbering sequence of bottles in this book has been kept from the first book’s printed format, to not

cause confusion with collectors referring to that edition. For that reason, you’ll see some bottles in this book

not shown in numerical alphabetical order. I haven’t tried to document and record all the various sizes that

each example was available in.

The rarity rating in this book is based on the quantity of the bottle found in collections that were used in

creating and researching this book. Some collections studied were from diggers that covered a wide area of

Ogden. Other diggers covered a limited area for their finds. Also used for rarity ratings, are some large

collections where the collector searched every avenue to obtain these Ogden Druggist & Pharmacist bottles

for their collection.

One collector that contributed a great deal of information and research toward making this book possible was

Stan Sanders. He purchased and traded heavily with the diggers and other collectors obtaining an example of

many of the rarest bottles, he also had duplicates and large quantities of some examples.

Some of these bottles and / or variants are so rare that not one single collection contained them all.

Thanks to all the many people that have contributed to this work, for all current and future collectors to

reference and enjoy.

(6) Number for bottle designates; the druggist, pharmacist, or company selling the product.
