Winter Finds #2 2019

The Little Rhody Bottle Club's winter show had a great turnout last year. I didn't buy much but a fellow digger had two medicines I didn't have. One was an E.T. Luther Druggist Olneyville, RI in an unlisted 6” size.



I was even more excited with the W.A. Walling Providence, RI medicine which was unlisted with the Charles St. address. Sadly it's nuked purple but still a great rare bottle!



I haven't added a dose cup in ages so when a Dr. E.P. Stimpson Tiverton, RI showed up on ebay I didn't take any chances. It is the only embossed piece of glassware from Tiverton besides milk bottles, so I'm very happy with it!




A digger out in the lakes region dug a A.O. Hull & Co. Pharmacists Central Falls, RI medicine and emailed me about it. It was completely unlisted and to find one so far away was quite the surprise. We worked out a deal and now it's back in its home state!



Ebay also provided my second A.J. Johnson Jr. Druggist Pawtucket, RI medicine. Considering this was also a completely unknown bottle before I got another one a few months back I was surprised at the coincidence of a second one appearing!
