I have an olive-amber bitters that I need some advice about. The 8.25-inch, half-pint bottle is embossed around the shoulder and again around the base-rim RAMSEYS TRINIDAD BITTERS. There is a domed kick-up inside the embossed base-rim, but there is no pontil scar. I am guessing 1870s.
It is not listed in Kovels' 11th Edition. I did find it in Kovels' 4th Edition (1977) in stained condition at $25.00. None has sold recently on eBay. Does anyone here have more information about this bottle?
Mine is a dug bottle, not in condition to put on my shelf (my aesthetic preference). I have to decide whether to have it cleaned or put it in storage for someone else to worry about. Is this bottle worth cleaning?
