Lancaster Bitters - 6/25/2006 1:44:15 PM    krisgranger   Posts: 1 Joined: 6/25/2006 Status: offline I found a thread doing a random search, regarding this subject, but can not find it now, so I apologize for the repeat. I have 2 12 sided indian vegetable bitter bottles, one amethyst, one aqua. The aqua :ALANCASTERS               NDIAN VESETABLE (thats how its appears on bottle)              JAUNDICE BITTERS then it has the usual ColSam Johnson, etc, 1852, made in taiwan the amethyst:ALANCASTERS                    INDIANVEGETABLE                    JAUNDICE BITTERS (all normal) but the other side has PIC MOND, VA  and no stamp on the bottom both have the seams up the side and over the lip. I'm just curious if they are fakes, or if they are worth more than regulars due to the typos? I have many other bitters, but these two are the ones I am curious about for now..... thanks for any info! Post #: 1

No such medicine exsited according to most experts. There seemed to have been a few varients, possibly do to different makers. Here's a couple links for you. http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m_36767/mpage_1/key_ALANCASTERS/tm.htm#36767 http://www.antiquebottles.com/repro/ _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.

RE: Lancaster Bitters - 6/26/2006 9:21:43 AM    cowseatmaize Posts: 2135 Joined: 12/2/2004 From: Metro West, MA Status: offline This shows a bunch of different colors and molds. These are Wheaton, not Taiwan or other makers. I'm sure it's not all of them either. I've seen smoke and cobalt also. They're still cool bottles whatever they are. http://www.bottlebooks.com/Repros/lancasterbitters.htm Ron, that 1850 one is cool. It's not so much crude as it is just plain sloppy though. It looks like the toys r us with the backwards kids writing. I can't imagine it being accepted by the company unless it's pre 1840 or older. I think I could cut a mold better than that. I'm guessing it will turn up ABM or at least not pontilled. To me that would prove it. Possibly a repo of the fake. Maybe just someone playing with glass blowing. I hope not but that's my guess. Even if it is though I wouldn't mind having something as poorly made as that. It still looks about one of a kind. < Message edited by cowseatmaize -- 6/26/2006 10:01:57 AM > _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.
