The Davis / Drug Company / The Rexall Store / Leadville, Colo. 14 sided. 10.5" tall one clear one medium to dark amber. Both appear problem free. These two bottles are the largest sized embossed manufactured drugstore bottles. It is an incredible fact that Reed's collection contained no less than 20 32oz drugstore bottles. Let's put this in perspective. In Nevada, I believe there is only one 32oz bottle known (Ely). They are exceptionally rare in other western states and in fact there may be less than 10 known combined from Arizona and New Mexico. California also lacks any quantity of these large bottles known. As far as we know, no matching pair of a clear and amber 32oz bottle have ever been offered. As most collectors know colored drustore bottles (amber aqua cobalt and green) are highly desired from western states. Ron Reed Collection
