GERMAN BALSAM BITTERS W.M. WATSON & CO. SOLE AGENTS FOR U.S.

(G 18) Applied top, The only milk glass bitters made for the west.  These were produced out of Oakland, CA from 1880-1905.  Hence the discrepancy in the variants with applied and tooled tops.  This example is about perfect and virtually blemish free.  It’s hard to hide anything on a milk glass bottle and this one displays mint.  The early variant, these are considered very scarce.  Grades a 9.8.
