Notes:
I'm assuming all the bottles below with the name "Vaughan" from Richmond are related, but I haven't yet done the research to prove that. The dates and addresses above are from Vernon Grant's book, which only goes up to 1930, and I suspect that "Vaughan & Vaughan", which is on the label of a bottle below, came after 1930.

(more information will be added when I get around to researching this druggist)

Vaughan's North Side Pharmacy Bottles:

vaughan_01 This is a clear 4.5" bottle embossed:
vertical: VAUGHAN's / NORTH SIDE PHARMACY / FOR QUALITY
This bottle doesn't actually say "RICHMOND" on it, but it's listed in the Richmond bottle book1.


Vaughan-Robertson Bottles:
vaughan_03 This is a cobalt-blue cork-top bottle with a label that says:
label: PUT UP EXPRESSLY / FOR / VAUGHAN-ROBERTSON / DRUG CO. / BY / DODGE & OLCOTT CO.
embossed on the base: D & O CO
Dodge & Olcott was a New York company, and based on the embossing on the base, they seem to have made the bottle as well as the contents.



Vaughan & Vaughan Bottles:
vaughan_02 This is a clear 5" machine-made screw-top bottle with a label:
label: COOLING / SOOTHING / ANFRA / CREAM / ... VAUGHAN AND VAUGHAN / RICHMOND, VIRGINIA


1 Book: "Bottled in Richmond 1811-1930", by Vernon Grant
