Out of all the bottles I don't have, unlisted bottles hold the most allure for me. An unlisted bottle is, quite simply, a bottle that is not listed on the Little Rhody Bottle Club website. This doesn't include variants of listed bottles unless they are significantly different from the listed bottle (ex. Dr. Seth Arnold's Balsam is listed, but Dr. Seth Arnold's Infantile Regulator is not). Many of them are not marked from RI, only a labeled example or careful research can ID it as a RI bottle. I find a handful of them every year. If you find one of these I won't hesitate to offer you a top dollar price, because I likely won't come across one again!
$ means valuable, $$ means really valuable, and $$$ means $1000+
