With applied and pour spout mouth and handle and pontil Here’s a change from the bitters category in this early whiskey. A pleasing yellow amber, this has just a bit of interior haze which really doesn’t detract from the overall presentation. Embossing is strong in the circle on front, rigaree and mouth are perfect, really […]
GREELEY’S BOURBON BITTERS
(G 101) Applied top. A real stand out in the bitters category, this green example is loaded with whittle and all around crudity. Condition is great with just a minor “wet spot,” on the lip (see video). Looking for earlier comparisons we found an example from the Burt Spiller sale lot number 38. Originally obtained […]
Dr SPERRY’S RHEUMATIC BITTERS HARTFORD,
Ct. 9 ¼”. Applied top. A rectangular aqua bitters, these are also quite rare. We are only aware of three selling up to now and this may be one of them. There is a tiny flake off the side lip edge, very tiny, see video. Ex-Carolyn Ring collection. Grades a 9.7 without the lip distraction. […]

THE A.P. HOTALING OF PORTLAND OR. SOLE AGENTS
Applied top. Thomas 55, 1875-80. Here’s a bottle that, according to John Thomas, there were only two known of as of 1969. I would think today there are probably more than a half-dozen or so, still, not very many. Also according to Thomas these come in yellow and other shades of amber. With two known […]
Dr. PETZOLD’S GENUINE GERMAN BITTERS INCPT 1862.
10” – Tooled top. (P 74). If this were a rare bottle think how much they would sell for? Well thank goodness they aren’t and can be had for reasonable money. You have a lot going for them with the ribbing and great name. This one is about perfect with really no distractions, someone will find […]
