This was only my second time to the Enfield show, and it was a fruitful one! Armed with a scant $50, I was quite satisfied with what I was able to procure. Perhaps my favorite, the rarest Palmer & Madigan flask (in my opinion). There are close to 20 strap-sided variants, and this one stands out drastically.
Another fellow I have been trying to track down. Aqua was the intended color, but a few collectors suggested that it was stray cullet that was responsible for the appealing citron with faint olive swirls.
Another hard one to find, my first blob from the Providence Brewing Co.
Surprisingly my third example of this rare unlisted deco soda bottle. Surf Club Ginger Ale from Middletown, RI. The last two had heavy "seaglass" etching, so this is a decent upgrade.
A very hard to find "small ale" etched liquor bottle. G.A. Hazard Newport, RI. I have a large example in the generic champagne style, so they will make a great pair!
The super-common clear Otis Clapp bottles have to step aside for this little beauty. An unlisted size in amber!
I want to post a before and after picture of this one. Purchased "dug mint" for $10, I think a tumble would make it perfect! Dr. S.A. Weaver's Canker & Salt Rheum Syrup
A cute and crude little jar marked Horsford. This was the baking powder bottle for the Rumford Chemical Works.
Last but not least, a nice earlier Geo. L. Claflin & Co. You see the newer versions with the fancy belt/ribbon embossing a lot, but not this one!
