The only thing I have to gain from this costly and time consuming project is knowledge to share with
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.

my research.

the quality of the book, Ed has supplied me with many of my states dose cups. Ed sent me a complete listing of his entire collection of
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.
Johnnie Fletcher {Oklahoma} I first bought Johnnies Oklahoma Bottle book off e-bay and was impressed, knowing he had a book on
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
bought the book.. Johnnie's books supplied me with the Kansas & Oklahoma listings.

Donald: Hi. I was away skiing for a few days and just returned last night. We do a couple days per week of ski instruction at Maine
Handicapped Skiing, in Newry, Maine (Sunday River Ski Resort). It is great fun and an incredibly worthwhile activity for all the
participants...and...totally free to them!! Anyway, your site is really great. I love all the pictures and I enjoyed seeing the things you
now collect. Take care and congrats. Pete 2/03/06 Maine
Thanks Don for sending your link, which it looks like you not only did a nice job of setting it up, but must have also been a lot of
work to set it up so nice. I did look through it, which I also have it saved and will also look through more, in time. Have A Nice Day.

I was searching the net for "dose glass" and happened across your site. Very informative info on dose glasses. I collect San
Francisco Bay Area dose glasses and wonder if you happen to have any spares for sale that aren't in your 50 State collection?
I live near San Jose, California. Jason 5/6/2006 California
I introduced your website in our staff meeting this morning and the Education dept and Library are interested in examining it as a
model for interactive object-oriented history, so you will see some activity from nyhistory.org this week! Alex 6/13/2006 New

Hello Donald, Your site is fantastic, It is about time there is a dose cup site that is worthy of filing into the favourites to use as a
reference guide for when i find dose cups on my travels. I have found NZ ones and Aussie ones around, but never any American
ones over here. Some can have outstanding pictorials on them, Some are even embossed better than the Medicine bottles found
from the same company ! Thanks for showing me your new site,
Regards, Eddie 7/24/2006 Australia

Thank you for your website and the information you provide about different dose cups. I recently found the Mendenhall's Chill and
Fever Tonic dose cup in a relatives contents and intend to keep it but would love to know the value.
Would it be too much to ask for the approximate value of this neat item?
Thank you so much for your help.
Sincerely,
Paula Haas 8/11/07 Missouri
Don, what an amazing web site! I can tell you are truly dedicated and have devoted many hours to research. I don't think I have any
that you don't have listed. Although, I might be able to provide you with some pictures of a few you have listed. I personally try to
collect all dose cups with slug plates from the extreme Northwest Missouri area(mainly from smaller sized towns). Do you have
plans to ever publish a book on these glasses?
Sincerely, Alan Coy 9/21/07
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.
