My friend who dug the broken Morris
soda was still finding quite a few sodas including a deco style Royal
Club / Royal Carbonating Co. Providence, RI. While I'm familiar with the
company I've never seen a deco soda from them. Color me excited!
And he also found a undamaged (no
surprise) T.M. Morris Bristol, RI crown top. It's a minor
embossing variant to add to my sizable Morris family!
Another collector called me about a
blob he picked up, a pint sized Rhode Island Diamond Spring
Pawtucket, RI blob. I have a quart size and squat size, but they
pint is the hardest to come by, and consequentially unlisted.
From the shop that had the Lavell Jr.
blob also came a D. Miller & Co. Wines & Liquors Prov. RI
blob. I had to take a picture of it and compare it to what I had,
and the abbreviate Prov was not listed.
A local ebayer turned up a Rhode
Island Bottling Co. Prov, RI blob.
While my collection of these is nearly complete, this one has no
comma after Prov.
