This year the Baltimore Bottle Show
turned out to be quite an ordeal. I tried to coax my ailing car to
make the trip one final time and it blew a hose in the middle of NYC.
Needless to say I don't think I slept at all, so amazingly my
unfortunate carpooling buddy and I were able to buy a new hose the
next morning and decided to finish the trip. I wandered the show like
a zombie but some great finds made all my suffering worth it. I got
a fancy Otis Clapp & Son in amber as a double, but
surprise! It was different than the other example I had.
A nice surprise was a WW Trade Mark
ink in aqua. I found a teal green example a few posts back and after
posting it online someone told me they had seen an aqua example. I
kept my eyes open and presto!
A tenacious fellow collector finally
said yes to an offer I made him a few months ago, and I added my
third 12-sided pontiled Dyer's Healing Embrocation Prov. RI to
the fold. It's my best example yet, and my favorite feature is a
random comma after Healing.
I was recently reunited with a digger I
haven't seen in 7 years. After catching up he showed me some of his
recent finds. I bought a few including a Geo. T. Dana & Co.
Pawtucket, RI medicine. She's
a real beauty!
Ebay delivered again with one of my
favorite capitol pharmacy bottles, a H.I. Hough Drug Store
Providence, RI. This one was
in a different shape than my other examples.
