The Owl Drug Company was established in 1892 in San Francisco, at 1128 Market Street. In 1903, Owl Drug created a variety of bottles for prescription medicine and pills, and also soda bottles, with an owl sitting atop a mortar and pestle molded into the glass. The bottles were produced in various sizes from 1/2 an ounce up to 32 ounces. The logos on them often fluctuated from owls with a long tail to owls with no tail, with a short tail, with a potbelly, and others. These rare bottles are now highly coveted by collectors.
