Believe it or not this is blog 200! That means I've documented over 1000 unlisted RI bottles so far. It's pretty hard to believe, and at this rate there has to be a couple hundred more out there!
The one that almost got away joined
it's little brother last summer! An extremely rare 7-1/4” Paine's
Vegetable Pain Curer. This is the hardest to find size and this
one has a different top than the others!
The Westford CT show was quiet but I
did get yet another Otis Clapp & Son!
This one is a nice larger 8-1/4” square.
One of my old haunts was getting
landscaped, so I had one last go at it before it was gone for good.
Among the goods was a nice Alfred Barth & Brother Providence,
RI medicine. It was an unlisted 5” size.
Back at the mega-dump a real crier
turned up. A small size Combination Ladder Co. (Providence).
These are hard to find, and this new size is exciting! I hope
there's a whole one out there.
(picture coming!)
I usually don't pay a lot for common
pharmacy bottles unless there's something special about them. When
it comes to large sizes that's one of my weaknesses. An 8-1/4”
Fisk & Co. Druggists Pawtucket, RI rounds out my Fisk
collection now.
