From the Little Rhody Bottle Club site:

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.

Thank you for that information NHPHARM. I found it very helpful. After looking closer at the base, I think it may have been graphite or iron pontiled. There is only slight traces of the actual pontil that remain. I really like the teal color and the fact it is from the northeastern US.
