Beautiful 1868 Brown’s Celebrated Indian Herb Bitters Bottle Indian Queen Bold Detail. Ex: Umberger collection. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.Nice medium Amber color. No chips or cracks. I did an acetone test to make sure no repairs, glues, epoxies, etc. Slight interior dirt. I didn't clean it. In the neck and crown there are two elongated thin stretched out bubbles that resemble a crack at first glance but these are strictly in the making. Typical rolled lip. some roughness ...on the inside of the lip but no flakes or cracks or chips. several tiny seed bubbles but no open bubbles I can see or feel. No significant potstones or flaws. Well executed bottle with lots of detail. Face feathers necklace and crown are all bold. Bold embossing. There is a tiny ridge of raised glass along the edge of the right boot where some glass oozed out along one of the mold seams. 10th picture. Strictly in the making. There is an internal bubble just above the left ankle / calf but it is clear and problem free. Again "In the making." PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. I stand by all my sales. I am always glad to answer questions. PayPal only Please. I try to calculate actual shipping charges and I use the Ebay - USPS 2 or 3 Day Priority Mail system to insure and track packages. I double box each bottle and use lots of bubble wrap and foam.

Bitters from Art & Jewel Umberger and Lincoln Barber both of whom contributed to Carolyn Ring’s book “For Bitters Only” .

I want buyers to bookmark me as a good seller and come back often. When you receive the bottle please let me know. Please use caution opening the packages. Open the box over a soft surface. I had one buyer chip a bottle on a granite counter top while cutting through the bubble wrap. Use caution washing the bottle if you feel like it is necessary. One IDIOT BUYER ruined a beautiful JJ Melchers Case Gin when he dipped it in scalding hot water and caused it crack and laminate. He claimed I had “Coated ‘ it with something. Ridiculous. I refunded his money to protect my seller rating but he left negative feedback anyway. If you experience any problems contact me first before leaving negative feedback.
