Another flea market prize was a rare
Blanding & Blanding cylinder in an unlisted size (9-1/8”).
It was my second size of this attractive bottle, now I just need one
more to complete the trio!
This month's bottle club meeting
produced a nice S.J. Briggs & Co. Providence, RI medicine.
Most Briggs bottles have three lines of embossing, but this one just
had two.
A friend gifted me a scarce Shiloh
Bottling Co. Providence, RI green deco soda recently. There is a
fancy clear deco bottle listed, but this one is “scaled back” a
little to accommodate a label.
The fall LRBC tailgate show was a
little slow, but the weather was very agreeable! I grabbed two
blobs, including a Douglas Ave. Bottling Co. N. Providence, RI.
While I have a small horde of these, I didn't have one with an AC
monogram. The examples I have either have an O (Oates), or C
(unknown). The mystery deepens!
A visit two an antique shop that
recently changed owners produced a nice John E. Good Importer &
Jobber Providence, RI whiskey. The listed example I have has a
double sloping collar lip, while this version has a simple square
collar lip.
