yard sale jars - 7/21/2007 10:07:11 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 1693 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline Picked up some jars yesterday to add to the collection.  Again, hard to resist at a buck apiece.  Redbook doesen't list the double safety with this ones base embossing in a Qt. but I think it's just a typo.

Walker's vegetable bitters also for a buck.  I thought it could be a repro but then why would anyone repro such a plain bottle.  I did a search on this site and found it was real.  I have to agree with Guntherhess though that these things look much cruder than their age.  This one has whittle and the mouth is real lopsided.

Walker's  Vinegar Bitters. Are you sure Vegetable Bitters is correct for this bottle? Not saying you are wrong, just want to know for sure exactly what it is.  I have to say that the bottle you have there looks quite a bit older and a bit cruder than the ones I have though. Yours is the first I have seen that the top is made differently from all the other I have ever seen, that is what makes me think it is a bit older than the ones I have. < Message edited by L C -- 7/22/2007 2:27:22 AM > (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 6
