Summer 2024 Finds #2

 

On the old bottle forum website, someone posted a stunning Holley Mineral Spring Water Stephen Wilcox Woonsocket, RI half gallon blob. I was instantly compelled to message the owner, and to my surprise he agreed to sell it! I had to drive halfway across the Cape to pick it up, but it was a trip well worthwhile!



Back at the cellar hole dump my friend Danielle found an A.E. Remington Providence, RI medicine. It was an unlisted 3-3/4” size, so we worked out a trade!



At the bottle club's summer tailgate show, I picked up a J. Fred Gibson Co. Providence medicine. At 2-3/4”, it was a new size to add to the Gibson family.



A river walk didn't produce a lot of bottles, but I took home a broken Geneva Springs Bottling Co. No. Providence, RI deco soda. Sure enough, I noticed that it was aqua in color as opposed to clear, making it unlisted!



Also lurking in the river was a Warwick Club Ginger Ale Co. West Warwick, RI quart. I took it home as a potential seller, but surprise! It was also a new variant.
