Welcome back! I will continue to cover the finds from the Bristol purchase. A nice Patrick
Sheehan Newport, RI blob seemed a little different. Sure enough, all the listed versions have P.
Sheehan instead of Patrick.
I was excited to find a Shiloh
Bottling Works Providence, RI soda with an embossed Indian among the fray. I had
one of these which met an untimely demise.
My first example was listed and had a round slugplate. This one has an oval slugplate and additional
embossing.
Another soda that I hadn’t seen until last year was a Star Soda Bottling Works East Providence. This version is listed in aqua, but not in
clear.
A rather familiar bottle was a McKenna Bros. Eagle St. Providence, RI. It was one of my first RI blob sodas, but
this might be a variant. The listed
version has the maker, Karl Hutter New York on the base. This one simply says K. Hutter NY. I will have to check my other example to make
sure. Update: I checked, and it is indeed a variant!
Another bottle that has appeared with some regularity was a Phosa ABM crown top. It comes in handmade and machine made
versions. I noticed this one had 7oz.
embossed on the heel, which my other example lacks.
