Had a little time the other day and decided to load up the kayak and hit the river for a little while. I came across a Debris area just after a large branch underwater. Found some of the usual, a 1940s coke, ahebe soda.ochee springs and a broken sheba embossed quart (wish it wasnt broken it was from west barrington.

will show a another picture once I have time to clean it up

Heres some research from the lilrhodybottleclub

D. G. Hall
David G. Hall was a soda manufacturer and bottler at the rear of 91 North Main Street in Providence from 1852-54. In 1855, Hall joined with Edward Anthony becoming Hall & Anthony, Soda Manufacturers and were located at the Museum Building in Providence. The partnership lasted only a year and in 1856 Hall opened a new bottling establishment at the rear of 78 Pine Street.

Hall quit the bottling business around 1862 and joined with William H. Greene becoming Greene & Co. Liquors at 35 Orange Street. By 1869 they were located at 56-58 Orange Street dealing in most types of liquors.

In 1871, Hall quit the company and dealt in provisions as David G. Hall & Co.

Sweet mother of frothy goodness that is one great bottle. Unless you scoured the area, I would consider going back for more. Congrats.
