Hi Wendy -
It should say Bitters. Maybe they forgot to cross their Ts.[]

just letting you know it's a "barback" bottle. Would sit on a shelf behind a bar and used much like a decanter. Dates from 1890-1910 or in that general area. Theres also one with other types of liquor on them, ie. kummel, brandy and such. As of value they range a pretty wide spectrum. I've seen them at dealers stands for 80$ with stopper and I've seen the same bottle at shows for 30$ or less, the bitters might add some value? Try ebay maybe, good luck!!

Hi Wendy -
In reply to your email, Welddigger has some good ideas about its value and where to look for it. You don't mention its size, but judging from others like it I'd say that it is smaller than a back bar bottle. My opinion is that it is a dresser bottle or decanter and part of a set. I say this because as a cologne collector, I run into listings of this bottle with cologne etched on them, like yours above.
