Yard Sale Picks 5/28 - 5/31/2011 11:13:15 AM    RIBottleguy Posts: 1003 Joined: 3/5/2008 From: South Kingstown, RI Status: offline I love yard saling, but honestly never put much effort into looking for them in the paper.  I got lucky last weekend and stumbled upon a garage full of antiques and collectibles.  It turns out I knew the family's son from high school, and they were pretty friendly to deal with.  I walked away with three nice bottles and the location of a good dump.  He had found some good local milks there, so I was excited to see what I could find. I'm not sure what the first bottle is, but I think it's food-related.  Has a great applied lip.  The Coke is a Christmas patent one from Providence, RI.  The milk is a nice one from Greenville, RI that cleaned up beautifully.

I've found a lot of good bottles at yard sales over the last few years. I love that green one - the shape reminds me of the American Oyster cylinder type bottle that I've got downstairs somewhere. Good luck with the dump! _____________________________ Ebay Stuff: http://stores.ebay.com/JMacs-Vintage-Treasures?_rdc=1 Always looking for Rhode Island medicine, milk and blob top beers/sodas, and any bottle from Danielson and Killingly, CT.
