Hello All, Thomas C Bridwell became the mayor of Evansville Indiana 1880, prior to that he was a successful druggist having his own business T.C.Bridwell & Co in the 1860's and then partnering with Remus Glover(Bridwell & Glover)in the 1870's at the same address of the Corner of Main & 3rd . I posted the Bridwell & Glover bottle a few months ago and I just picked up this one up earlier this week.[attachment=IMG_1184.JPG]

Can we see the mouth and that vase(?) behind/right of the bottle? It's cute.

thanks for the interest S.B., the cute vase is actually a Mississippian shell tempered pottery olla form.[attachment=IMG_1186.JPG]

Also looks like a nice Indian Queen and ear of corn bitters behind the cute vase...........
Yeah, I needed something to block the sunlight. Come to think of it that's the first sunlight they've seen in thirty years. I started as a Bitters collector maybe some day I'll seriously get back to it
