A the construction site continued to
produce bottles, despite some of them being bad teasers, like a
Hazard Hazard & Co. Newport & New York. This fancy
square bottle has rounded corners and a frosted throat, making it
unlisted. (pardon these pictures, better ones to come!)
Just when I thought I had all the
different versions, I found another Mt. Hope Distilling Co.
Providence aqua blob. The only extra embossing was Registered,
which was embossed on the front heel. This one makes 14 versions
now.
Another fairly common soda showed up in
an uncommon style. A Sullivan Bros. Providence, RI crown top
had a distinct narrow body and long sloping shoulders. It was enough
to be a new variant, and is my 10th Sullivan bottle.
I was invited to pick a southern RI
basement, and found an assortment of neat stuff, from medicines to
stone jugs! A Thomas J. Bannon Druggist Westerly & Watch
Hill, RI was one of my favorites. A 4-1/4”, it was an unlisted
size.
Back at the construction site, a
damaged A.F. Cappelli Atwells Ave. Providence, RI blob had a
different look to it. Sure enough, it had “Registered” embossed
way up on the neck, which is unusual.
