I got a Gilbert R. Parker Pharmacist
Johnston, RI in a recent trade. It's the only embossed medicine
from Johnston and the size is unlisted. In 1890 the part of Johnston
Dr. Parker was in got annexed to Providence.
I snagged another D. & M. Co.
Providence medicine from a friend. It was an 6-1/2” size. I
still need to find an amber one!
I recently had the pleasure of meeting
with a RI historian who also loves bottles. We did some trading and
among items exchanged was a Remington & Co. Providence, RI
pharmacy bottle. The listed version says A. E. Remington so this is
a later unknown variant!
My Frank L. Powell Newport, RI
collection grew with a larger 6-3/4” example. It so happens to be
an unlisted size as well!
From the same seller I got a J.R.
Lorah & Co. Newort in a smaller unlisted 3-1/2” size.
