Show Us Your Bitters Bottles...

Just don't seem like where I dig that there are many bitters. You would figure that after 40 years of digging that there would be more. Atwood's Jaundice, Hostetter's, Electric Brand, and Dr. S B H & Co. The Electric Brand bitters was the first bitters that I dug. The one on the far right is embossed Dr. S B H & Co PR on the base. Some places list it as a bitters.

Another common but Fun one! First bitters I ever dug. Sample sized Dr. Harters Wild Cherry Bitters. Also got a sample sized Dr. Atwoods Jaundice Bitters outta the same dump.

Great Thread!

Here's my favorite Maine bitters (and one of my favorite ME smooth base bottles overall) - a Peruvian Tonic Bitters from Portland - I really like the color and crisscrossed beveled corners.

This was a sleeper bargain on ebay and the partial label was a nice bonus!

Wow, those are all great bottles. I can see why people just collect bitters. There's so many different kinds and many are quite elaborate. Let's keep this going. I know that there are more great bitters bottle out there. Show us your pics.

How you been? Since I had to retire and sell my best bottles, I don't get around to the shows anymore... Miss it...

I once had a Waits bitters that I'd never really liked that I purchased for $20 around 1990 which I traded for a San Francisco perfume back at the Golden Gate show when it was held in Pleasanton in 1991/92. I've seen plenty of Waits since then but have never seen another of the SF perfumes I traded for.
I had an African Stomach bitters and a Peruvian bitters but sold both of them on ebay when I weeded out my collection.
But I'm not bitter that I have no bitters in my collection. [8D]

I was heading out to my Dads today and thought about this thread. He has a nice collection of pontiled bitters, so I thought I would take the camera w/me. Well, the battery in the camera was dead so I had to take the back up camera and it is junk!! I took pictures anyway , but they are not very good quality. They are good enough to tell on a few of them. Here is a Dr. Skinners Celebrated 25c Bitters.
