I sell bottles out of a shop called
Nostalgia on the East Side. Business is good but sometimes I think
I'm the only person who ever sells bottles in there! One day I saw a
blob behind some other antiques. I nearly fell over when I read the
embossing! F.T. Buffum Prov. RI. I've never heard of the
name, and it was dead mint! Needless to say this is definitely a
contender for the best unlisted bottle of the year.
A friend of mine found a Martin's
Drug Store Pawtucket, RI for
me. I have a larger size, and there are no Martins bottles listed!
The Little Rhody Bottle Club's annual
show was a blast, even though I didn't make any truly incredible
discoveries. I finally got a W.E. Cates Pharmacist Providence,
RI. A neat looking medicine
and the address is different than the one listed.
A friend traded me a Pascoag Pharmacy
Pascoag, RI medicine. At 3-3/4” it's the smallest size known and
unlisted!
An uncommon J. Moskol Providence, RI
crown top soda was even less common because it was machine made!
Talk about a little irony there.
