I pasted this from another forum I'm in. Probably my best buy on ebay!
I'm not a big spender, being in college and all, but when I saw an OHP Rose EG RI bitters bottle, I needed to offer something for it. The bottle is from East Greenwich, RI, and labeled examples show that it contained Oliver Hazard Perry Rose's (patriotic) Great Peruvian King Bitters. It was a crude example in dark amber. Oh, and it was triangular. I ended up dropping $140 for it, which was less than I expected to pay. I knew one went for $595 a while ago, but the reserve wasn't met. Let me know what you think!
It was hard to photograph since it was so dark, but I got a few decent pics:
The label side
Other side
The base
The top was very crude. One side had the full sloping collar, the other side didn't
No collar!
The patent date side. The lip has a dip in it, too. I'm pretty sure it's not a repair, plus the cork is still inside the bottle!
