SMITH’S DRUID BITTERS B.T. 1865 S.C. Here’s a scarce barrel and one we do not see often. Medium amber with a hint of red. Ex-Stewart Elman collection. Grade: When we first looked at this one we though that the top was reshaped or buffed. Such is not the case. Under extremely high magnification, one can see a continuance of not only texture but also patina, which erases any doubt as to the authenticity of the mouth. Just the lightest signs of normal wear; we’ll grade this a Mint 9.2. – American Bottle Auctions – Meyer Collection
