Your variant of the Dr. Wilson's Herbine Bitters is listed in Ring-Ham as EXTREMELY RARE. Fantastic find! ! ! Congratulations.
While I'm sure what Jim says is right on I don't think that the book is up to date as they can be found on Ebay fairly readily in the last few years in the $8-25 rangeORIGINAL: botlguy

I am astounded that they can be had for that price. I just checked the W - H Supplement and it is not listed in the pricing section and there is no indication of that sort of commonality. Old dogs can learn new tricks still. Thanks for that enlightenment. I might have paid a bundle for one as an investment had I run across one.ORIGINAL: epackage

Jim, I should have asked if the examples you found on eBay were this exact variant. There are 3 others that are listed as SCARCE which may make siome difference. R - H lists this variant as W 122.2, indicating a late discovery, and the others as W 123, 124 & 125. This one has :" BRAYLEY SONS & CO." embossed which is part of the difference and 2 of the others are embossed with St. John, N. B., rather than Montreal, indicating later bottles.ORIGINAL: epackage
Happy to help Jim
