Very nice Ron !
I'm partial to the Semi cabin Bitters. Some of my favorites !
Is the German the 1880 or 1872 variant ?
Thanks for sharing ! Brian

Hi Brian...

Hi Pat...

The basic form is similar to Drake's Plantation Bitters... The latter has embossed logs, making it a cabin form... Thus, semi-cabin for bottles with the outline form but no logs...

I'm sure we could get Brian to show off some of his latest Plantation Bitters acquisitions...

PS... It was a good spot for catching the evening light...

Very nicely explaination on the Semi cabin form Ron !

The 1880 variant is the scarcest of the two. But the 1872's seem to have more character to the glass ..... much better crudity than the 1880 variants. I have had several 1880's in the past....and they were rather Plain Jane if you ask me.

I'll see if I have any Drake's pics that I can post .
