Some New RI Bottles

[RIBottleguy]

I added 486 RI bottles to my collection in 2014, and rounding out the end of the year were these additions. Enjoy! A tough machine made Rumford Chemical Works in green

My first etched RI dose cup! From Westerly, RI

Three of the earliest and hardest to find Otis Clapp & Son bottles

A scarce small town med. My second size in this shape

I was giddy with excitement to see this early Frank C. Cundall pharmacy bottle. I have a Farnham & Cundall, a few F.C. Cundall & Co. meds, and a few Cundall, Earnshaw & Co. meds, The Farnham predates this example, and the others postdate this one.

A nice local medicine, I'm partial to the wavy line of embossing.

Last but not least, an unlisted and fairly ornate Olneyville medicine.

Hello Taylor, the RI-0432 is an unlisted size (6") as I just took the measurement in the Little Rhodie Bottle Book and it didn't look correct, so I measured it. Dean

Those are really nice, especially those druggists. The only RI bottle that I ever had was an emerald green, OP Morse's Celebrated Syrup. It was as dark as I've ever seen, whittled to death and mint. I sure do regret getting rid of it now. Never even got a picture of it that I can remember. With over 400 additions to your collection this past year, I hope you'll continue to post more pictures along. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Thanks everyone for the comments. ACLbottles, I believe I have that one. I have 14 different Providence Bottling Co. bottles so far. Does it have Dean Foster & Co. on the base? Dean, I sent you a PM.

Hello Taylor,I also have these two in my collection:L--RI-0155 (4 3/8" tall)R--RI-0191 Thanks, Dean

 

[ACLbottles]

Taylor, yes, it does have Dean Foster on the base. Do you know about how hard to find these are?

Jonathan,They are fairly common. Yours is the early version, which is a little harder to find. I have dug at least 25 crown top examples.
