I pulled this out of the junk bucket from my last dig.

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?[:D]

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!

Thanks for the info John. It still has white residue on the shoulders and it does match the RI-1811. ABM corker. Kind a unusually top.

I cannot figure out what kind of soda pop bottle this is. Can someone please help me? It looks like it’s in English and another language also.
