The Coventry CT show delivered me a
nice unlisted RI patent medicine. Oxolo was sold by the Oxolo
Chemical Co. in Providence. I posted this one a while ago under a
“Not mine” entry, but now I can proudly claim one!
A local art festival yielded two yard
sales sporting bottles. Among a dismal table of junk bottles I
spotted a Batchelor's priof top soda. This unusual style top
was more popular with food bottles, but it never caught on. I have a
smaller example, so this is my second one!
I literally stumbled upon a nice circa
1910 dump right in plain sight of the public. I couldn't believe it
had not been dug! My heart really started racing when I dug a Grady
the Apothecary Olneyville Sq. Providence, RI
medicine. It was completeley unlisted, and Olneyville meds are
pretty tough, so I was a happy digger!
Also from the same dump was a No.
Main St. Wine Co. Providence, RI blob. This one has a mysterious
block letter H on the front, which the others don't have.
Another ebay pickup was a D.F.
Goodnow & Co. Providence, RI pharmacy bottle. While badly
damaged, this is a rare and early Prov medicine, which was unlisted
to boot!
