Pharmacy collectibles (also drugstore and apothecary) run the gamut from medicine bottles to scales to 'show globes' - large glass balls used as window displays. This category is interesting not just for its window into early (and often quack) medicine, but because the corner pharmacy was once ubiquitous and came to symbolize small-town America.
