Junk or what?

I was hoping is was local Rexall but not! what's the chance of finding an R.I. bottle in Hawaii? could it have been any farther from home?

Status: offline 		Hi Rockbot! Yes, that bottle sure is a long way from home. Everett & Barron Co made shoe polishes and blacking. Their bottles are quite common, in both cork and screw top. I believe yours is listed as RI-1811 in the Little Rhody Bottle Book, third from the bottom on this page:

I'm sure it's rare enough there in Hawaii though. Nice digs!
