others.
I would like to thank the following people for all the help they have given me in this ongoing research project.

my web site. Alex one day will have an outstanding general collection of all types of medicine dose cups. Alex is an assistant curator at
the New York Historical Society in NYC, she is building a collection of acid etched dose cups and product glasses.

many hundreds of dose cups, he has and has been the most cooperative of all the people I have been in contact with, his book on
California Bottles & Dose Cups is a must for collectors.

Kansas I contacted him and he sent me a handwritten draft of all the dose cups in the Kansas Book, once again I was impressed and

their clubs.

When I started collecting there were no references on Dose Cups, everyone was very secretive about the scarcity
and their values. There was very little information on the subject, so out of frustration I started this research, now
we all know more as to whats out there and we now have a scarcity or rarity scale to base values on. There are still
many hundreds or even thousands of dose cups yet to be identified. The list of names below are people that have
contributed to the data , and have opened up their collections to me, some to be photographed in their entirety,
This is my way of saying thanks to all that have helped and if I left your name off the list it was not intentional.
