I've been busily digging for and buying RI bottles that cross my path. Here's the latest batch.

An odd Kalenza Laboratory bottle. Very thick glass and somewhat fancy design.

An S.H. Farnham Westerly squat soda. I have a quart too. A nice R.J. Sweeney Newport soda I got in a trade

A neat "Pure Quaker Beer" by the Levin Bros. of Providence. I love the Quaker holding a bottle

And of course one of my favorites. Taylor's Pharmacy Newport, RI. I've been looking for this one for 10 years.
It's the only RI bottle with my name on it. Now for those other two sizes...

They look tumbled. Except for the last ones.

Dude, awesome scores, but that Taylor's pharmacy takes the cake, congrats on finding it! Man, if you see any Stephen's Pharmacy bottles let me know! [:D]

Hi Matt,
The jar is early ABM, I guessed 1900-1910 since it's "wide mouthed." It doesn't have an Owens ring on the base. None of the bottles were tumbled, they're just good examples!

Hey, SH farnham, I dug a handful of those in a dump in Norwich ct... I put one on the bay, and the rest went with a large lot I sold... They were all very clean... I couldn't find much about them at the time... I don't believe they were listed on the little rhody site...
Nice bottles
Here's a few here, I think it was 5 altogether out of this dump...

Nice digs Matt,
They are listed on the site. I do have an unlisted quart size though. He also has some normal 9" soda bottles. It's a little confusing since there was also a Farnum from Westerly. There's one soda that says "S.H. Farnum Westerly, RI/ Farnham's Root Beer" I haven't tried to figure it out yet lol.
