Ah yes, the nearly omnipotent Property
of Providence Bottling Co. Providence, RI
is back again! This is the script blob example that has periods
after Good and Registered.
While the Providence versions are very
common, the Louis H. Meyer Olneyville, RI blobs can be quite
tricky to come by. This one is listed as RI-1305, but at 9-1/2” is
an unlisted size. The listed example is 9”.
A McKenna Bros. Providence, RI
blob turned out to be an unlisted version of an unlisted version.
Pardon my redundancy. This blob has an oval slugplate, which is
unlisted. I have an example with an oval slugplate, but the
monogram design is different, and there is no period after Bros.
A familiar looking Thos. Grimes &
Bro. Inc. Providence, RI blob
was not quite what it seemed. Almost identical to RI-1071, it
has a comma after Providence which 1071 lacks.
Significantly harder to find than the
Thos. Grimes, a W.H. Grimes Co. Pawtcket, RI
crown top. This
is the only Grimes blob/crown to have Co. on it. Additionally North
and Street are spelled out too.
