Good one!

Ring and Ham have it listed as ex. rare. According to the D&C Auction Price Guide, there were several recorded sales about 15-20 years ago ranging from $440 to $880 through Glassworks.

Thanks for the info. Since your name is icollectfruitjars do you know anything about a C.F. Spencer fruit jar I found next to this Newman's bitters. Everything in hole looked to be around 1860's so I assume the fruit jar was also? LEON.

Ring & Ham Supplement says $400+. That would be in really nice condition so I'll offer $10. [][][8D][] Great find, one I never owned or was even familiar with. Congratulations. Jim

I seen a Kovels book say $633. Sounds cheap compared to some other Bitters? LEON.

I don't think anybody would really pay much for this thing. It has some breaks in glass & a corner piece missing. Rougher then it looks. Kinda Sentimental so I'll probably keep it. THANKS, LEON.
