RE: Rhode Island bottles - 5/2/2008 9:42:42 PM    treasurekidd   Posts: 265 Joined: 9/25/2005 From: Warwick, RI Status: offline Here's a few more beers, all blobs: "J C Gannon, Providence, RI" and the two on the right are "W H Arnold, Riverpoint, RI", which is part of West Warwick. I've got lots more, milks, beers, meds, ACL sodas, etc,  just no pics. I'll see what I have for ambers, greens and blues, and try some more pics tomorrow.

RE: Rhode Island bottles - 5/2/2008 10:52:30 PM    lobeycat Posts: 3218 Joined: 9/8/2003 From: RED SOX Nation Status: offline Here's two nice ones, no color though... First: Dr. F. W. Seabury's / Astringent Gum Wash / Providence R.I. U.S.A. It's rare. It's a known bottle but about five years ago maybe a bit longer Dan Andrews told me it's the only one he's ever seen. Was going to post it on the Rhody site but he was sick, might have died for all I know. Second: George A Peckham / Grocer's Supplies / Providence, R.I. Better than average Rhody bottle, got to love the ringed neck. Lobey.

RE: Rhode Island bottles - 5/9/2008 5:23:06 PM    treasurekidd   Posts: 265 Joined: 9/25/2005 From: Warwick, RI Status: offline Crewela, keep your eye on eBay, different variations of the Western Hotel bottles (McManus & Meade or Nasonville Bottling Co) pop up there 3 or 4 times a year. I'll keep my eye out for you. _____________________________ Here's my eBay stuff: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZpktchng Always looking for bottles from Rhode Island and Danielson and Killingly, CT.

RE: Rhode Island bottles - 5/9/2008 9:54:45 PM    grywllms   Posts: 9 Joined: 5/27/2007 Status: offline Just getting into bottle collecting after digging up several on construction projects I have done in Chicago. One of my finds is a 9-1/2" Tall light blue HAZARD & CASWELL on front, CHEMISTS on right side of the bottle, and New port R.I on the left side. Don't have much knowledge on the subject , but it appears to be a pontil with an applied top(not for certain). Sorry, I don't have a picture at the present moment... my collection is up to 26 bottles and growing <<<<think I'm hooked>>>> (in reply to treasurekidd) Post #: 12

RE: Rhode Island bottles - 5/9/2008 10:48:18 PM    treasurekidd   Posts: 265 Joined: 9/25/2005 From: Warwick, RI Status: offline Grywllms, first off, welcome to the forum and the best hobby going! It's tough to tell for sure without a pic, but your Hazard & Caswell sounds like this one, as listed in the Little Rhody Bottle Club book, but they don't mention a pontiled version. I would love to see some pics of your bottle. If it's pontiled, it's unlisted. iRI-284.2 HAZARD HAZARD & CO. (front) CHEMISTS, (right side) NEW-PORT R.I. (left side) rectangular aqua 9-1/2" _____________________________ Here's my eBay stuff: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZpktchng Always looking for bottles from Rhode Island and Danielson and Killingly, CT.

RE: Rhode Island bottles - 5/9/2008 11:40:53 PM    grywllms   Posts: 9 Joined: 5/27/2007 Status: offline Thanks for the welcome treasurekidd,... sounds like the exact bottle I have. Just noticed on the bottom of the bottle it has a larger than quarter size indentation(dimpple).I thought it was a pontil mark, must be part of the mould design. thanks for the info. Browesed through your ebay items...seems like you come across a wide variety of treasures, let me know if you ever come across old baseball cards.. Huge collector!!thanks again for the info.

RE: Rhode Island bottles - 5/10/2008 12:06:41 AM    treasurekidd   Posts: 265 Joined: 9/25/2005 From: Warwick, RI Status: offline You're welcome grywllms. Is the base of your bottle similar to this, with the center circle depressed inward? If so, that's a not a pontil, but what I believe is called a two piece hinge mold base. Still a very nice bottle either way. As for eBay, I usually have more bottles than anything else, just not this week. I buy for my collection, and sell some that don't fit in the collection. Did I mention I'd love to see a pic of that bottle, lol!!

RE: Rhode Island bottles - 5/10/2008 1:12:26 AM    grywllms   Posts: 9 Joined: 5/27/2007 Status: offline treasurekidd, Yes, sounds pretty accurate...it also has a seam looks similar to a solder weld under the cone shapped lip. Tomorrow I will post some pictures of that one, and a couple others I've found maybe you could tell me something more about them.
