In my digging experience in South Texas about 80% if the bitters are Hostetters. I've probably found about 50 whole ones. Once in awhile I find a Columbo Peptic or Lash's that somebody probably bought by mistake thinking it was Hostetters. One time I dug a Yochim Bros Stomach Bitters and threw it aside with the Hostetters until I looked at it closer. They sell pretty good at flea markets for $10. to anyone who just wants an original Bitters bottle. Of course the real early ones are better but the ones here date from 1890-1920.
