A friend walked in to where I work and carried in a soda crate full of seltzer bottles! Apparently they were on the side of the road for free. Among the finds was a B. Weinbaum & Sons Providence, RI double etch. I'm not exactly sure how this happened, but possibly from the bottle being rotated while wrapped in the sandblasting metal trace mold.
A chilly marsh dig turned up a damaged Puritan Bottling Co. Providence, RI. I have a bunch of variants from this company, and they just seem to keep coming!
Also from the marsh was a scarce Ruhland & Co. Cranston, RI blob. It turned out to be the same as a crown top version I had, only with a blob top!
I spotted a group of smaller perfume
bottles on ebay. Among many common names was a Caswell Massey &
Co. New York & Newport. While also a common name, I have
never seen a small perfume shaped example!
At the Somers CT bottle show I picked up a D. Miller & Co. Wine Merchants Olneyvvill Sq Prov. RI blob. The embossing is definitely an odd choice, and unlisted!
