    Description

    I am currently listing my better "bought" bottles from my collection, some of which I have had for decades. Listed here is a pair of similar bitters bottles, mainly because one bought out the other. The one on right is a light grassy green embossed "PEPSIN/ CALISAYA BITTERS/ on one side panel and on opposite "DR. RUSSELL MED CO." with no issues noted, a real sparkler! Most likely a tumbled example. Glass is wavy and swirly and the embossing somewhat weak on the Dr. Russell side. Other bottle is a deeper foresty green embossed AUGAUER BITTERS" on one side and opposite side "AUGAUER BITTERS CO./ CHICAGO". On this side is a small 3" area of internal haze, not too noticeable. On one of the un-embossed panels are a couple of wisps of crud in the glass as I have tried to clean it but it ignores my efforts. Definitely looks to be encased in the glass and very unnoticeable, a non offensive issue. Both are nearly identical in shape and size standing 8" tall, 4 1/4" wide and 2 3/8" deep. Not too surprising as A. U. Gauer bought out the Russell interest in the bitters. The tooled Augauer bottles are harder to find with tooled tops as the early ones were bumping up against the machine age. Seems there are ten machined examples to every tooled one. If you are unhappy for any reason, you will have my standard guarantee of your satisfaction for any or no reason or full refund upon return. Also I will offer free shipping if you purchase three or more of my auction items and will combine where practical. Thanks for looking and keep watching for more as I continue to thin out my collection of 57 years. All reasonable offers considered.
