Spring Finds #2 2018

At the monthly bottle club meeting I made a pretty surprising discovery, a blob from Barber & Ruhland Cranston, RI. While Ruhland has his own blobs, I've never heard of Barber and can't find him in any directories!


Another club find was a L.H. Meyer Providence, RI crown top. I haven't seen this style from Meyer before and it's unlisted.


A friend of mine has been digging a mill dump in northern RI and found two Rousseau & Brown Druggists Woonsocket, RI. With the rounded sides they are an unlisted style and measure 3-1/4” and 5-3/4”.


A friend set aside some medicines for me including an A.W. Howe Pharmacist Prov., RI. The 222 Broad St. address is not listed!


The other medicine was an A.O. Austin Pharmacist Providence, RI. There is only one Austin bottle listed and it has a mortar on the front.
