Congratulations, you have a bitters listed in Ring & Ham as D-68 if its 9 5/8 " tall X 3, D-69 if its 9 7/8 X 3 1/4 both EXTREMELY RARE. There are apparently 3 sizes, the smaller size is not identified as to size or rarity. As far as value I am saying at least $500 (or more) because that is what I would pay if I were still seriously collecting Bitters. It is a square which hurts it significantly but there are those who go for rarity and then the local collectors. Jim

No Cracks, it does have some scratches though your seeing. LEON.
