The miscellaneous category covers hair bottles, ink bottles, and other odds and ends. When it comes to pontiled RI bottles, the misc category includes some of Rhode Island's finest!
T. Addeman Prov. RI
This stunner of a bottle contained shoe polish (aka leather preservative according to the label). A truly remarkable bottle and one of Rhode Island's best!
G. Anderson's Ambrosial Invigorator for the Hair Newport, RI
This is Newport's only hair bottle, and it's a tough one! I don't have an example yet and am on the lookout for one.
Camm's Spanish Lustral or Hair Preservative Providence, RI
This is probably the most common pontiled RI hair bottle. It comes in a couple variants shown below.

Hoyt's Hiawatha Hair Restorative (Providence)
This unusual bottle was made to be sprinkled on one's head, the narrow neck would regulate the flow. It was an unsuccessful product. It comes pontiled and smooth based.

C.A.P. Mason Alpine Hair Balm Providence, RI
Considered to be one of Rhode Island's top 5 bottles, it really doesn't get much better than this! The smooth based examples are exceptional enough, and the pontil just sends this one over the top.
Prof. Morse's Hair Dye Prov, RI
A rare hair dye bottle likely related to Morse's Celebrated Syrup.
Potter & Champlin Westerly, RI
Rhode Island's only embossed pontiled ink is a beauty!
