1. "ST / DRAKE'S / 1860 / PLANTATION / X / BITTERS - PATENTED / 1862", (Ring/Ham, D-108), New York, ca. 1862 - 1875, light to medium celery green 6-log cabin, 9 7/8"h, smooth base, applied tapered collar mouth.
About perfect.
A bright visually clean bottle with a very bold impression. Even the usually weak S.T. Drake stands out.
All Drake's collectors know that the green coloration is the most sought after and hardest to find of all Drake's bottles. It has that highly desirable lighter density of color, so light you can read a paper through it! Here's an exceptional example and in a real "dazzling" color!
