This year's show was a great one. I picked up some quality RI bottles for great prices. It was also the first show I set up with half a table. Consequently that made it the first show that I made more money than I spent! Enjoy the pics...

Ok, this was an ebay win, but just came in yesterday. A George Fink Providence, RI "tall squat" soda.

Hughesdale Manufacturing Co. Providence, RI. An early Rumford's copycat

The real prize of the day, an unlisted RI cure! New RI cures only show up once every few decades (if ever), so I consider myself very fortunate to own this one.

Barbour's "Nesterly" RI. The mold maker for the Barbours bottles wins the award for most errors lol

Edwards Prescription Pharmacy Pacoag, RI. A tough town to find bottles from.

A sharp looking Quality Drug Providence, RI

Finally, I was able to acquire a script embossed Woonocket Coca-Cola. Actually, I got two of them!

The show wouldn't be complete without a nice Davis Vegetable Pain Killer

Couldn't pass this lip up...

And lastly, while not a RI bottle, it was pretty irresistible. Hughes Witch Hazel Price 25 Cents.

Nice stuff Taylor, good to see your finds from the show today. I really like that "tall squat" (unique shape on it) and the rumford copycat bottle. Exciting find in that cure too. Thanks for sharing. Glad to see that someone made it to the show [;)].

Finally picked up that Hughesdale I see. I like that Witchhazel. What's the lip look like? I picked me up a Road Island bottle this weekend too.
