I just purchaced a Dover NH soda/beer, second from the right in the pic...I especially like it because "R.B." are my initials.
Any info you might have on these would be much loved...Bram? Or any of you fellow NH bottle nuts?

Left to right:
Registered - George H. Willey Newmarket N.H., tooled crown top.
~
Fred J. York Somersworth N.H. Registered / This bottle not to be sold. Potstone and horseshoe crack on top that I am 99% positive is a defect from the factory, as it appears to be "caused" by an open bubble inside the opening of the top, looks like a "tooled blob", not applied.
~
Registered - Robinson Bros. Dover N.H. (R inside a B trademark) / This bottle not to be sold. "tooled blob" not applied.
~
Rochester Bottling Co. Rochester N.H. - Registered / This bottle not to be sold. "Tooled blob".

The Dover / Robinson bottle is 100% mint, no scracthes, stain, or defects of any kind...in the above pic it looks dirty, but that's shadow.
Here's another picture for comparison.

Nice. I like local blob beers. There are a lot of embossing variations on the local ones around here. ~Jim

Another neat thing is those towns all abutt one another. Well, Newmarket is one town over from Rochester...but who's complaining?

Another question for the experts: I found a sweeeeet dark amber "Rochester bottling Co. Boston Branch" at the same shop I got the Dover bottle.
I thought to myself "Rochester" MUST be Rochester NY....can't be Rochester NH...but when I looked at the Rochester I have, it is "Rochester bottling Co."...So the question I ask is; Did the Rochester NH bottling co. have a "Boston branch"? Do I need to go back and buy it?
