Moosewood Bitters advertisement from the Boston Post on Monday, December 27, 1875. Wood, Pollard & Company Sole Agents for the United States. This tells me to look north to Canada where I found Moosewood Bitters advertisements in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1869.

Jim Bender took this picture of a picture of a Simon’s Centennial Bitters (figural bust of Washington) and a Constitution Bitters (figural gazebo) when he visited the great figural collection of Mike Anderson this past weekend. Look for a feature story in the March April edition of Bottles and Extras. The Constitution Bitters could be the oldest figural bitters. This particular example resides in a prominent Denver collection. Two other examples exist, one in New Jersey and one in Houston.
Mama… look at that labeled Dr. Petzolds… Ad from Heckler in the next Bottles and Extras.

Working on straightening out De Witts Bitters. Post in transition with new 1866 advertisement. Earlier than thought for this bitters. Odd since DeWitt was born in 1855.

Brrrrrrrr. 35 degress and raining at Peach Ridge this morning. The same front.
Make sure you read Marianne Dow’s take on the symbolism with the “R C B” Romaine’s Crimean Bitters logo. “Rise, Colored Brethren”, “Romaine’s Crimean Bitters” and “Rothschild & Cie Banque” who were the high powers behind so much history, including the Freemasons as well as financing the Crimean War. Fascinating. Her work is posted in the comments section at the bottom of the post.

If one needed some medical Mary Jane in the 1850s they could see eclectic physician Dr. Buzz.

Also interesting that the SAME Dr. Paetz’s Stomach Bitters is at Glass Works Auctions 105. This bottle sold at North Amerucan Glass in April this year. Hmmmmnn.
