A friend recently found a G.E. Greene Pure Drugs Wyoming, RI pharmacy bottle. These are extremely rare to begin with, but this one was square with a mortar and pestle, making it a new bottle! I was excited and bummed until another friend of mine showed me one he dug! I was able to trade him for it.
An estate sale in Cranston turned up a T.M. Morris Bristol, RI soda. I was almost positive it was going to be a double until I checked (as I have learned to do).
A friend who owns an old house in Johnston invited me over to look at some bottles that were in his house when he moved it. There were hundreds, and while most were unremarkable, I did find a T. Roswell Parker Olneyville, RI. This is a tough Olneyville med, and it was a new size!
While digging in a local 1930s dump, I was rather shocked when I saw a blown pharmacy bottle base sticking out. I was even more surprised when I saw it was embossed O'Hare's Pharmacy E.J. Gallagher Providence, RI! At 4-3/4” this is was a new size as well.
I was looking through the discard pile at a friend's dump when I spotted a shoulder embossed Sullivan Bros. Providence, RI crown top. It was the first shoulder embossed version from the Sullivan Bros that I've seen!
