called "
HUFF - LEADING DRUGGIST (DRUG STORE)
- TABLE - DESSERT - TEA (standard marks on other side)
" in 1890-1900 era , issued for the historic town of
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
NOT ONLY IS THIS DOSE GLASS "RARE".....THERE ARE NO DOSE GLASSES LISTED IN MY COPY OF THE MILLER CATALOG FOR PASADENA.....TOUGH TO FIND..........ORIGINAL OWNER CONSIDERED THIS SUPER RARE AND HE WROTE BOOK ON THE SUBJECT, AND WAS THE ONLY ONE FROM "PASADENA" HE EVER FOUND !!
I am calling this dose glass "as found" as it has a small internal flash or mark on the left side panel, and a tiny little internal bruise on the right side (neither show while it is displayed)...Like a dummy, i did not catch these small little internal defects when i initially listed this...to me, they are very minor when you are talking about possibly a unique dose glass. (see images 7 & 8).....I
have
greatly reduced the price accordingly, and to save time, selling as a "buy it now"
BELIEVE THIS DOSE GLASS IS EARLY, AND A RARE UNLISTED TOWN, ORIGINAL OWNER CONSIDERED IT "EXTREMELY RARE"......... HE WOULD KNOW RARITIES, AS THIS IS EX-MILLER COLLECTION, AND HE WROTE THE BOOK ON THESE....THIS WAS A LATE ADDITION TO HIS COLLECTION, NOT IN MY COPY OF HIS BOOK
Noted that "Huff" started his drug store way back in 1879 in downtown Pasadena....but these typically issued around 1900 give or take, but a historic druggist
The historic  town of PASADENA is located in Los Angeles County California...known for "PASADENA TOURNAMENT OF ROSES", and "JET PROPULSION LABORATORY" and of course "ROSE BOWL" not far from towns of Altadena, La Canada and Duarte, Cal.
THIS DOSE GLASS DISPLAYS WONDERFULLY, EMBOSSING IS CRISP & NICE, ..DISPLAYS WELL, NICE COLOR, VERY SHARP PC.
This dose glass is what I would call a
light sun purpled to clear colored glass, it stands about 2 1/4" tall  ...and it is a very nice specimen with 2 small defects noted (see gallery 7 & 8) to me very minor, and
smooth
to touch...
.
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SPECIMEN
, took pictures from all angles and in different lighting conditions to show glass, ...Has the age and would likely turn darker purple if left in sun
Gallery pictures should show you all you need to know, took pictures from many angles.
FIRST TIME OFFERED AS A "BUY IT NOW", OBVIOUSLY A SUPER RARE DOSE GLASS WITH MINOR ISSUES
Nice
AND
BEAUTIFUL,  UNLISTED TOWN, TOLD EXTREMELY RARE DRUG STORE
MEDICINE "DOSE GLASS", ANTIQUE, ONLY ONE AUTHOR EVER FOUND FOR THIS TOWN
....

PASADENA,  CALIFORNIA
All my dose glasses are carefully packed in bubble wrap and oversized rigid box to make sure they get to you as you see them :)
Thanks so much for looking....collect and invest in history!!!!!
