An out of state collector came across a truly wild piece recently! It was an S.J. Esten squat soda whimsey. This example is in a different color than the normal Esten sodas, and it's pontiled! This doesn't make it older, a pontil rod was simply needed to make this unusual piece.
Another photo I saw on the web was this shoulder embossed McKenna Bros. Providence, RI crown top. The only one I knew of had Providence spelled Brovidence.
Another unusual medicine to surface was
an Albert Fenner Providence, RI cylinder. Narrow cylinders are uncommon, and wide mouthed ones even more so.
A friend of a friend came across an interesting Eagle DP Co. Providence, RI. This bottle was likely related to the Eagle Brewing Co. which operated at the address on the bottle.
A friend recently dug this amazing heartbreaker blob. Embossed The Gold Dollar Central Falls, RI, it is easily one of my new favorite Central Falls bottles.
