Here is one of the early House shaped type bitters bottle.George Scott applied for a
patent on January 12th 1864.The bottle is sort of in the form of a log cabin.
It is marked on one of the 4 roof panels "Old Homestead Wild Cherry Bitters .The Opposite
side roof is marked Patent.The other two roofs are just plain shingled.
Three sides of the bottle have clapboards and one side is plain.The bottle has a door on
the front side along with a window.On the opposing side of the bottle there is clapboard
and a window.On one more side there is clapboard and another window.The last side
of the bottle is plain.This brand of Bitters was owned by T. B. Slingerland & Co No. 69
Beekman Street New York.
The colors of this bottle are mostly various shades of amber however there are rare
yellows and greens.The rarest Old Homestead Wild Cherry bitters is in the color
bright blue.(Carlyn Ring and Bill Ham)list this bottle as number O37) in their Bitters book.
The bottle is 10' tall and 2 and 7/8"wide on all 4 sides.These bottles always have a large LTC
type applied top.The bottle was made in a treadle mold just like the booz bottle.
This bottle was made at the Whitney Glass Works the largest producer of this type of
figural Bitters bottle.The bottle came in the following colors, amber in various shades
of is listed as common.The following colors are listed as rare by Ring and Ham,Yellow,
Lime,Puce and olive yellow.In cobalt blue and in bright green with a Whitney Patent
inside screw stopper the bottle is listed a extremely rare.
This particular bottle is multi colored so I think it makes it unique, and a little more
desirable then the plain Amber colored ones.It is Dark red amber at the bottom of the
bottle,Red Amber in the center, and Bright Yellowy Orange Amber in the roof.The neck
is again in dark Red Amber.
