The Bryant's was definitely blown for a New York Co, but the few examples known were all dug in the West. The first to be seen came from a privy at 8th and J in downtown Sacramento. That bottle cause quite a stir in the collecting fraternity and it disappeared for some 30 odd years, only to recently surface and change ownership. As I recall, the diggers were offered the lofty and unheard of $3,000 for that bottle immediately after it's discovery. Times, and values, have changed.

BET THAT EGG PLANT GRINDER IS REALLY GOOD! [:)]

SEEMS INSANE TO PUT A BOTTLE [BITTERS] THAT SHAPE AND THAT EXPENSIVE,THEN BALANCE IT ON A PILLOW,LIKE THAT IS PROTECTING IT ,WHEN IT COULD EASILY FALL OFF INTO THE FLOOR![:-][:-]

I AM SURE THE "BLUE" [LOOKS COBALT TO ME] FISH BITTERS IS REAL,BUT MAN IF I HAD FOUND IT AT A FLEA MARKET ,I WOULD HAVE SWORN IT WAS A REPRO. LOOKS FAKE,BUT THEN IT BEING "BLUE" AND MINT MAKES IT WORTH WHAT IT IS. JAMIE
