Craigslist has been frustrating as of late. The last two rather promising leads turned out to be no-replies, and I missed out on some good bottles. After I called a lady twice minutes before we were supposed to meet, I was afraid of deja vu again. Thankfully she called shortly afterwards and things went better than expected! I picked out a bunch of Rhode Island bottles, mostly sodas, and she only wanted $1-2 per bottle. I ended up paying $60 for 15 bottles because I was feeling generous, and because a lot of the sodas were unlisted. The nicest bottle, a Greene's Always Open, my third size in amber!

Lastly, a milk, N. Law & Son Warwick, RI. I believe he moved to Saunderstown, RI later on, which makes it a bottle with local ties for me!

Such a deal. They look in great shape. I have had three good Craigslist deals so far. One lot I bought to get two of the bottles. I sold most of them and am now ahead on that deal. Continued good hunting. Scott
