Summer Finds #4 2023

 

A Maine bottle collector/dealer dropped off two nice blobs for me. The first was a new variant Geo. Kilz Co. Providence, RI.



The second was a Union Bottling Co. Arthur Ave. Providence, RI blob.



Digging in a new spot yielded a mega-crier, a B.P. Clapp Ammonia Co. Pawtucket, RI. It was intact enough to save and document, but I really hope there's an undamaged version of this beefy bottle out there!



Another surprise crier was a small size Bernard Conaty Co. Inc. Providence, RI crown top. I've only seen the 12oz versions.



A friend picked up a Joseph Demers Pawtucket, RI pint flask and offered it to me. It is my second size of this rare flask, and that leave just the quart!
