Here are yet more unlisted RI bottles that I hope to some day acquire!
I was recently contacted by a RI antiques/collectibles
dealer who had bought a lot that included a few bottles. Three of them from RI were unlisted. An A.O.
Austin Pharmacist Providence,
R.I. had a different address than the listed example as well as an embossed
mortar and pestle.
Another unlisted variant was a Farnham & Cundall Pharmacists E.
Greenwich, R.I. The listed
example is oval while this one is square.
Lastly was a brand new Dr.
P.E. Gervais Social Corner Woonsocket, R.I.
Woonsocket had a large French population,
and the last names on many Woonsocket
bottles is a testament to this!
Recently fellow collector Tom M. came across a bunch of Sunlight Bleach Phillipsdale, RI
bottles. He had two unlisted colors, one
in a lime green and another in an olive green.
While the authenticity of one of these bottles is debatable,
I have seen citron colored Davis Vegetable Pain Killer bottles in
person. They are generally the older
applied lip examples. The example on the
right is a small newer version, and it is possible the color was altered.
