Both bottles are amethyst, the unmarked one being so dark it looks almost black except in a well lit room and i am trying to figure out if the Berrings Apple Bitters is a...

    General Question about bitters bottles

    I read a post recently that seemed to suggest that finding original bitters bottles of any type is a feat in and of itself and apparently repros are way more common. I know some basic ways to tell sometimes if a bottle is newer, but how does one tell at a glance if a bitters bottle is a repro...

    Yard Sales - 2012 edition

    Goodwill here in the fort worth area is really hit and miss, and yes it depends on the day you go. I have found some really good items but it seems everyone that hunts like i do is there right ahead or behind me sometimes. Thriftown here is better than GW and salvation army rocks. But i have...
