    Early Western square bitters

    I was able to acquire a large (variant) Rosenbaums Bitters in light olive yellow, courtesy of a longtime collection, dug from the Redwood City area thirty-five to forty years ago. Research shows that the first time N. B. Jacobs put up this product in embossed square bottles was late 1864.
