I have nearly every Dr.
Hayne's Arabian Balsam known, but this clear 7” example
was a new one to me. It comes in aqua with a spelling error, but
this example spells Providence correctly. It was a little tricky to confirm as the label was applied right over the embossing!
I normally pass by the boring side
embossed Blanding Providence
medicines, but this one caught my eye. It has a unique double collar
style lip.
I guess I shouldn't have been surprised
when I saw another The Ewd. Smith Co. Pawtucket, RI error
whiskey. This one is my third error (Ewd instead of Edw.) size and
it's a beefy quart!
What once was a bottle only spoken
about in whispers is suddenly my 4th size! I guess once
one surfaced the rest quickly followed. This Miller's Pharmacy
Pascoag, RI is a 5-1/2” unlisted size and color (clear).
When a Clark Stanley's Herbaline Eye
Water showed up on ebay, you
can imagine how excited a bottle nerd like me got. Clark Stanley is
the man responsible for the term snake oil, and his bottles are
easily found. But he also made a few other much less successful
products like this one. So far it's the only one known!
