This is one of my favorite bottle shows to go to, as deals abound if you look carefully. I found some nice RI bottles and a few others that I couldn't pass up.

The first order of the day, I got back my tumbled Dr. Hams!

My first Old Dr. Warren's Quaker Bitters Prov.RI. This is the scarce version with Quaker Bitters in a slugplate. Does anyone have more info on this from a bitters book?

The partial label. It has an 1870 patent date, while most have the 1872 patent.

A presumably rare Bayer bottle from the late 1800s. It's embossed phenacetine on the shoulder, which was the first product they put out.

A nice Price Bros. Boston whiskey. What struck me as odd was the telephone number! I've never seen a BIM bottle with a phone number on it before.

A gift from a friend of mine. Turbitt & Orme Providence, RI soda

I love the heel embossing: Two cents will be paid for the return of this bottle.

Lastly a pictorial soda. John Tebo Fisherville, Mass. with embossed dog.

Very nice haul.
QUAKER BITTERS R & H # Q1 9 1/8" X 3 1/4" X 2 1/4" and 7 5/8 Applied mouth Common. Says nothing about the slug plate even in the suplement. Books have a fair number of advertising items shown.

Nice finds...The phone number is odd....must be a pretty early phone. How do you mean, "got back"? whats the story on this bottle...? Looks nice.

Lowell was the first bottle show I ever went to. Went to it on my honeymoon. Needless to say the wife never went to another, not being into bottles and all. Nice finds.
