Yesterday I completed photography for two (2) new peachy coppery barrels that will join my run of the popular figural barrel form of the Bourbon Whiskey Bitters. It is rather difficult to put together a distinct color run as the barrels are usually in muddier, similar chameleon tones. The Carlyn Ring and W.C. Ham listing in Bitters Bottles is as follows:
B 171 BOURBON WHISKEY BITTERS, Circa 1860’s – 1880’s
