Description

This listing is for a fine, original 19th century "Drake's Plantation (Log Cabin) Bitters" (
bottle only

), in a very pleasing, brown / amber color, with a small portion of its original paper label still adhered, which reads, in part, " a most effectual tonic, beneficial appetizer, and wholesome stimulant; imparting tone to the stomach, and strength to the system. Unequaled for Family, Hotel "medicinal" (partial), use." This is the "four (4) log variety, and has an applied lip. The bottle is embossed on one side "S T" (light), "DRAKES 1860 PLANTATION X BITTERS". On the other side appears, "Patented 1860". The bottom of the bottle has a circular indent which is unmarked. The bottle stands roughly 10 1/4 inches tall and 2 7/8 inches wide. I can find no damage, however there are (as is typical of bottles of this era), some air pockets, etc, visible in the bottle when back-lit. A quite fine example of this 19th century bitters bottle, in my humble opinion, in very nice shape w / the additional bonus of a piece of the original label still intact. If you're an antique bottle collector, I'm sure this will be a nice addition to your collection. It surfaced out of an estate attic and is fresh to market, so don't miss it!
