I'm listing this with a starting bid of $40 because this is one of my favorite bottles and it is in a non bottle collecting category. 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. I am an individual collector of nearly 50 years. I only ship to the US. Please check back often. Over the years I have purchased many fine examples from famous Old Texas collectors! Bitters from Art & Jewel Umberger and Lincoln Barber both of whom contributed to Carolyn Ring’s book “For Bitters Only” . I also purchased several fine Bitters, Medicines, and Historical Flasks from the Rev Fr.: John Kiem and Mr. Al Olfest. I have Historical Flasks, Fire Grenades, Medicines, Liquors, Whiskeys, Seltzer Bottles and more. Put me on your “Sellers List” I am adding bottles every 3-4 days. I have over 100 bottles. I ship items on Tuesday-Thursday and Saturday. I am a collector. I respect collectors. I try to describe bottles as accurately as possible. Please ask any questions before bidding. I work 8-5 M-F so if I don't answer immediately forgive the delay. Please Check my other auctions! You may find something else you like. I start all my auctions with very reasonable low reserves. 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.
