one of the country's top collectors of sarsaparilla
bottles. Being an active collector he became aware of the
great number of "unlisted" bottles being
discovered, and recognized the need for an updated book
on the subject. After several years of researching and contacting other collectors, "American Sarsaparilla Bottles" became a reality. This 158 page book, with over 235 sarsaparilla bottles individually illustrated, is a must for every sarsaparilla and medicine bottle collector. Today"American Sarsaparilla Bottles" is the most recognized, complete and nationally accepted reference book on the subject. To obtain your copy send $17.95 |
