RE: Worth buying for $70 ? - 7/7/2011 9:08:31 PM    Bixby Bill Posts: 345 Joined: 4/24/2009 From: Ellington, CT Status: offline I looked it up in Bitters Bottles by Ring & Ham, they list it as extremely rare with only 1 to 5 known examples. That means that if it is something that you collect, you may not find another one for sale again, but as an investment, it`s still a plain style bitters with damage, which makes it a hard sell if you`d ever want to part with it. It all boils down to how much you want it. Just my 2 cents worth! _____________________________ Always looking for anything Bixby: bottles, tins, boxes, trade cards, advertising, etc. Been collecting for 33 years and still don`t have enough of them!

Ring-Ham values it at $200 in Near Mint (not MINT) condition. I sold my BITTERS collection but I would buy it if I ran across it.
