Yeah, I know fakes everywhere. This guy had am amazing sample collection. He had probably at least 50 to 75 sample bitters and other types mixed in. He displayed them at one of the national shows years ago. He said what got him started was that he dug one of the better bitters sample bottles.

I specialized in bitters for years and am quite familiar with the square and rectangular and round minis but there are FEW authentic figural minis around. I'd have to think hard about it to remember even one TRUE figurative. However, if he displayed at a National show they should have been authentic. I may be ignorant of true, authentic examples.

This might be the best picture druggist bottle I have. The Owl Drug Store Phone 126 from Chickasha, Okla. Extremely rare and this one has the label on the back. It was found in the attic of a house in Mobile, Alabama. drug_chickasha_owl_green2.jpg
