Welcome back! I apologize for the delay since my last post.
I’ll pick up where I left off in my last post, the Stillwater Antique Center. My second find of the day (also reasonably
priced) was a J.A. Hebert Central Falls,
RI handmade crown top soda. While
crown top examples of this bottle are listed with fancy script embossing, this
one has a simple slug plate.
I will now return to more of the ever-impressive Otis
collection! Next up is yet another Standard Bottling Co. Pawtucket, RI. This 7oz. ABM crown top is unlisted, and one
of the newest Standard bottles I have come across.
Just when I couldn’t think of another Standard Bottling Co. bottle, surprise! How about a seltzer? While not as striking as the etched wine,
it’s a great looking seltzer, and it happens to be my third etched bottle from
the company. What variety!
The Maine Bottling
Co. of Providence, RI achieved moderate success in the sale
of carbonated beverages. This unlisted shoulder
and heel embossed 16oz. bottle isn’t much to look at, but it does fit nicely
between my 8oz. and quart sized examples.
Another slightly more interesting shoulder and heel embossed
soda is a quart sized Yacht Club
Bottling Works Centerdale, RI. There
are no quart-sized embossed bottles listed from the company, so this is an
excellent addition to the family!
