Got Back in the River Today 5/23

[RIBottleguy]

Usually I'm out digging in marshes and rivers by late March, but a few complications kept me preoccupied for a while. I just bought a new pair of waders, and was excited to use a pair that didn't leak for a change!
I was initially dismayed when I saw the river was greener than my front lawn from seaweed. I couldn't make out a single bottle. Luckily, as I moved upstream the seaweed disappeared and I started finding a bunch of stuff. I was happy with achieving my goal of one embossed RI blob and one RI milk.

L-R: Sherba Beverages W. Barrington, RI (2), National Bottling Co., Royal Carbonating Co., J. Gannon N. Providence, James Lavell Providence, J.L. & P. Gannon Prov. etched wine

L-R: Registered Full 1/2 Pint in slugplate, E.J. Burke, Arlington Dairy, J.E. Jordan Arlington RI, Nutro (RI)

While it's busted, you don't find these etched wines too often. It goes nicely with the soda I found.

Your 2013 post came up in my research about the Nutro bottle I found today. I think it looks like the one you had found?

I also found one of these before and would like to know more if I find another in the future.

Hey! So the Nutro company was founded in Boston in the 1920s. They had a branch location in Providence that opened likely in the 1920s as well. They lasted into the 1930s before going out of business. Their bottles seem to be fairly common as I have found quite a few of them.
