SUFFOLK BITTERS PIG - 7/23/2005 1:57:11 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2420 Joined: 4/17/2005 Status: offline Currently listed on Ebay is this Suffolk Bitters/ America's Life Preserver/Suffolk Bitters glass pig. It is an Italian made repo , possibly of the original Suffolk Bitters/Philbrook & Tucker/Boston. Or of the original Berkshire Bitters/Amann & Co/Cincinatti O. Will post pics of the fake Suffolk and then of an original Berkshire for comparison. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

The originals have PHILBROOK & TUCKER / BOSTON embossed on the opposite side from the SUFFOLK BITTERS embossing..... And the originals almost always have a double collar lip treatment. The Suffolk repros have the AMERICAN LIFE PERSERVER'S embossing and almost always have a straight collar lip treatment , much like that which is found on most of the original Berkshire Pigs.

RE: SUFFOLK BITTERS PIG - 7/23/2005 2:19:18 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2420 Joined: 4/17/2005 Status: offline thanks for the pic BRIAN. How come you home today? I went to the flea market and got an old wooden stencilled soap crate for $10.00...the stencilled side of another crate marked Wrisleys for $5.00...and some oddball modern shotglasses for 50c each. The crates and some old jars and bottles were found in the cellar of an old house by the guy I bought them from. He had a BIM whiskey cylinder...looked like the Heller Bros or Hayners but no embossing. I told him to go back and look for the dump... (in reply to whiskeyman) Post #: 7

I had an early crate/box once that was for Case gins ( if I remember correctly it held 12 Gins ) . I sold the Pig snout O.P. Gins and the case to Hagenbuch at the Knoxville Show several years ago. I recall seeing it in one of his Glassworks auctions not to long ago. I have some pics of it around here somewhere , if I can find them I'll post some. I'm home with the kids today.....Wife had to work today . We are just laying around taking it easy today.
