ULYSSES S. GRANT and the KELLY'S and THE OLD CABIN BITTERS

[Steve/sewell]

I would like to thank BRIAN S. for his help early on when I had purchased these three years ago as I was still green on the rarity and the value of these bottles.

Does anyone else at this forum collect these.Has anyone else ever seen the OLD CABIN BITTERS before.
I remember just one being sold at one of the major glass houses for around 12,000 dollars.

Hello Steve, Thanks are in order even though we don't have a bottle to compare the characteristics to. I hope every serious bottle collector appreciates you work, as much as I do. RED Matthews

My father found 8 of these bottles back in the 60's. Have 2 remaining, one with no damage and one with damage shown. Have no idea how to sell this bottle or what kind of value it has with it being damaged. The damage is only on the neck. Any ideas? Not the best pictures but hopefully someone can help me.

 

[Steve/sewell]

Hi Mary, I sent you an email this morning.Great looking bottle you have there.
