Beautiful bottle John, excellent cleaning job! Looks like a good one to sit in the sun for a little while too!

Nice find! It's very difficult to find these big druggist bottles, so I don't doubt it has a prominent place in your collection.
Here's the biggist druggist bottle on my shelf. I believe that Riker-Hegeman was a New York druggist.

I wonder what the druggists compounded in such volume. It would allow many small doses or a few large doses, whatever it was.

Re: I dug my biggest local druggist bottle
Here's an alternative medicine bottle, a homeopathic medicine bottle from LUYTIES ("loo.tees") in St. Louis. Luyties had set up his compounding drug store in the 1840s, and supplied homeopathic medicines to pioneers headed west.
Both bottles are embossed LUYTIES vertically. The smaller bottle is chock-full of a white powder and is labeled "Milk of Sugar" on a paper label.
I'd guess that these bottles show up in the Midwest and West more often than here in the Southeast. Anyone here with other variants of these LUYTIES bottles?

You beat me to the punch-line.
