Beautiful, I would like to find one of those. Congrats.
Recork it. I'd like to know what it smells like to determine what was in it.View attachment 215081
here it is somewhat cleaned up. Funny thing, I knocked the cork out of it when cleaning and the smell of pine/chemicals/booze is unbelievable. My wife is yelling at me to get it out of the kitchen!
From my Antique Traders Bottles Book, this is a Drake's Plantation Bitters, 5 log, smooth base, applied top, American 1862-1875. Book says could be worth $1000 +. Hope this is correct, check with an expert. Wonderful find.Recork it. I'd like to know what it smells like to determine what was in it.
Hmmm, I only counted 5, but I guess there is one that goes un-noticed. Sorry about that, in any case, they are worth a few bucks.It's a 6 log, not a 5 log.
What I was saying is, what did they put in it? Pine oil, whiskey, thyme, sage, or what?
