I am looking for someone to answer a question for me regarding a bitters bottle I have.
I have a ladies leg BOKER'S BITTERS bottle. It stands approx. 13" tall. It has labels on it (not in perfect condition of course), there is a date of 1853 on it and most importantly it still has half of it's contents! It also has a "War Revenue Act of 1918" sticker on the back of the bottle. The cork is not in the best condition and if you hold it upside down it will occasionally drip the bitters liquid. It has quite a pungent aroma!
Does anyone have any information regarding this particular brand? It's value? Also if I decide to list it on Ebay or sell it outright, how would I ship it, since it would leak?
I purchased a huge collection of bottles from an estate sale. I have sold a lot on Ebay and still have quite a few. I can usually search Ebay for an average value and list them accordingly but I have yet to come across a Boker's, especially with contents! I've even checked www.kovels.com and they don't even list one.
Thank you for any help you can offer.
For some reason I am unable to upload a picture however I have 9 pictures of this particular bottle. If anyone is interested please email me at: jfbrown@cox.net and I'll be happy to email them to you.
