T.H. Logan & Co


Company Names, addresses, dates:
  T.H. Logan & Co, 47 Main, Wheeling VA, c.1850s-c.1870s1,3

Notes:
OK, I know that Wheeling is in West Virginia, but T.H. Logan was a druggist there while it was still part of Virginia.

Dr. Thomas H. Logan was born Feb 14, 1828 in Pennsylvania1. He died Oct 1, 1888 in Wheeling WV2. He studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and graduated in 18501.
He then moved to Wheeling VA to practice medicine, but soon after started a drug business. He had his own business under the name "T.H. Logan & Co.", and was also part of a business called "Logan, List & Co."1.


Bottles:

logan_01 logan_02 This is an aqua 5.7" bottle with a glass pontil scar on the base. I have 2 photos shown, the 2nd one showing the pontil scar. The bottle is embossed:
vertical on front panel: T.H. LOGAN / & Co ,
vertical on left side panel: DRUGGIST
vertical on right side panel: WHEELING, VA
base: (glass pontil scar)
I'm not sure why there is a comma after "& Co" instead of a period. I presume that was a mistake.
logan_03 logan_04 This is an aqua 4.7" bottle. It does not have a city or state, so I don't know if it was made before West Virginia was formed.
The embossed "Co" is weaker than the other embossing, and looks like it may have said something different that was peened out in the mold.
The base has "key mold" mark, a diagonal line with a semi-circle in the middle. It also has a smooth indentation. The bottle is embossed:
vertical on front panel: T.H. LOGAN & Co
base: (key mold mark)
