1. "AMERICAN LIFE / BITTERS - P.E. ILER / MANUFACTURER / TIFFIN, OHIO. - AMERICAN LIFE / BITTERS", (Ring/Ham, A-49), Ohio, ca. 1865 - 1875, light to medium olive yellow cabin, 9 1/8‚”h, smooth base, applied tapered mouth.
A 3/16" in-making open surface bubble with tiny edge roughness is on a lower log tip at the base.
Forget this tiny minor in-making flaw, this is a rarely offered bottle (even in amber) one of only a very few (it is believed that only three exist) in this coloration! That said of those we've seen (all three) this is the lightest in color and has more of the desirable green coloration!
For those lucky enough to own an amber example, imagine this one sitting on a shelf next to it! Brian Radford Collection.
