The Keene, NH bottle show is always an
exciting event, and I was quite happy with my finds. A Frank P.
Casey North Smithfield, RI amber blob was the only unlisted
bottle I came across. This example has an oval slugplate, as opposed
to the two listed examples with round slugplates.
A Hazard, Hazard & Co. Chemist
New York & Newport round medicine turned out to be an
unlisted version. Newport is one word (the other spells it New
Port), and there is a period after Newport.
The Little Rhody Bottle Club's fall
tailgate show was a great success, with excellent weather and lots of
buying and selling. I was excited to pick up a Houle Bros.
Pawtucket, RI blob. The only documented Houle Bros. bottle is
etched, so this is the first know embossed example!
I seem to be on a role when it comes to
McKenna & Conaty/ Bernard Conaty bottles. A McKenna &
Conaty Providence, RI crown top surfaced at the last Little Rhody
Bottle Club tailgate show. That makes two unlisted McKenna &
Conaty crown tops!
Also present at the tailgate was a P.H.
Corbett Newport, RI etched wine. A scarce bottle to begin with,
the etched version had to come home with me!
