Read: “Knock – Knock“
141. “WOODGATE’S / PLANTATION / BITTERS”, (W-160), American, ca. 1865 – 1875, medium amber cabin, 10″h, smooth base, applied tapered collar mouth, about perfect, two pinhead or less in size flakes are off the roof, otherwise perfect. One of only three known examples, and the only one in this amber coloration. Considered by many to be one of the rarest of the cabin bitters bottles! This is a new find to the market, coming out of a home in Northern New Jersey. The irony of it is that the consignor of this bottle found one of the other two, 40-years ago!
Woodgate's Plantation Bitters - Glass Works Auction #93
Sure wish there was LOGS under the embossed roof panel(Like I do Homesteads)…but a wonderful rarity nevertheless. WHO in the collecting community will end up with this Jewel? THAT is the question!
