Legendary Barto’s Great Gun Bitters added to Fuss Collection

Hi Ferdinand,

It was great to catch up with you in Baltimore. I look forward to my next visit to Peachridge in April!

Attached are a few phone pics of my new green Barto’s Great Gun Bitters from the Ring collection. It is the same one that is pictured in both the Ring/Ham bitter’s books. I have also included a picture of it in my case with my apricot Barto’s. Man, I love the Barto’s!

Enjoy!

P.S. The Baltimore show was the just the best! I had a great time. It really is by far my favorite show and in my opinion the best in the country.

The following email and pictures was received today from Sandor Fuss (Denver, Colorado). This bitters bottle transferred hands at the Baltimore Bottle Show this past weekend. I was fortunate enough to see it Saturday. Simply extraordinary! Way to go Sandor!
