My medical display!

[Kevlardini]

Decided to put all these nice med bottles where they belonged! Had this awesome antique medical cabinet from a pharmacy, So I set up this little display, probably how It would have looked years ago. Got some nice ones with labels (obviously not dug) and some ponds and others (Dug).
I think it turned out pretty nice!


Ugh Sorry. One of them is right side up. The other pics are messed up. Why? I don't know. Can you still see it ok?

I can see them all. Right side is up! Really nice job. I like to see how people display their finds. I've built a couple of shelves just for my bottles. I know somebody that had some shelves custom made and back-lit to bring out the best in the glass. Museum quality display...nice job.

AWW thanks so much! I Do hope to make some back-lit shelves to put next to it because, man do those bottles pile up! They need to be displayed with pride!

Thanks! Hey, You know if you look hard enough you'll be surprised. Just a few weeks ago I discovered another cellar hole not 10 minutes from my house! You just never know!

Thanks! I found it at a yard sale, actually just over in Westford. A women was getting rid of a bunch of old pharmacy stuff. $5 for the cabinet!!!! WOW ONE HELL OF A DEAL! I should have bought all the old mortar and pestles too. They were nice old brass ones. But I didn't know much about them then.

Believe me, I am! What I've learned is that if it's old and cheap, you can't go wrong. If you don't end up liking it, SOMEONE will!

What was trash 25 years ago is collectible now, as is anything older than yesterday!

That would make a GREAT treasure hunter's T-Shirt! (Or a cool bumper sticker) Like I might buy one!

Great display idea! One tip for posting pics that I've learned is if you're using a smartphone you have to take the pics horizontally instead of vertically. Not too sure why it makes a difference but it helped me. Took me a lot of trial and error before I figured it out! Thanks for posting, now I'm gonna be looking for old medicine cabinets too!

Thank you! Yeah that one picture I took that turned out right was a horizontal. Guess you learn something new everyday! But yeah, go find yourself a nice cabinet, and make sure to show us when you find one!
