I was completely surprised when Jim
Hall messaged me saying that he had yet another Paine's Vegetable
Pain Curer. Getting the last two from him was a monumental
achievement, so to add the final 4-3/4” size went far beyond my
expectations.
My VT friend David scrounged up a
quart crown top American Bottling Corp. Providence, RI.
Easily one of the most common RI soda/liquor bottles, almost all of
the listed examples are 12oz bottles. This big guy was a welcome
surprise!
Ebay delivered again with a small
pontiled Dr. Seth Arnold's Balsam.
I have this bottle with a flared lip, so the rolled lip on
this one was a nice contrast. It is also so crude that it doesn't
even stand up!
A little cabin fever digging at the
mega dump unearthed a 2-7/9” Fisk & Co. Druggists Pawtucket,
RI. It's my smallest size yet, and happens to be unlisted too.
My friend Mark (aka the human backhoe)
had a few bottles rolling around in his basement. One of them became
my favorite bottle from this company. A Caproni Bros. & Co.
Spruce St. Providence, RI blob just has a great look to it.
Despite being damaged it's a real looker!
