Winter Finds #2 2022

I was recently able to trade with a friend for an Edw. Smith Co. Pawtucket, RI half pint whiskey. Normally these are very common, but the embossing style was new!



Another friend of mine dug a Kings Bottling Works Westerly, RI BIM soda. Until he dug this example, all known Kings bottles were machine made, so this was a nice surprise!



An antiques dealer bought a small bottle collection that included a Chas. M. Cole Thames St. Newport, RI. I have never seen one of these with Oz and CC measurements before!



Yet another friend came across two Newport pharmacy bottles. The first one was a Frank L. Powell Newport, RI.  The pharmacist version is harder to find than the chemist version and this is an unlisted size!



The second bottle was another Chas. M. Cole Newport, RI. At 6-1/4” it is also an unlisted size.
