1. "E. LONG'S / INDIAN HERB BITTERS", (Ring/Ham, L-119), American, ca. 1870 - 1875, yellowish amber Indian Princess, 12 1/8"h, smooth base, applied mouth. Perfect condition but some dried base contents should wash out. Due to a shallow cut mould (like all) the impression is weak.
Extremely rare, probably less than five known examples.
Probably a smart proprietors attempt to take advantage of the popularity of the Brown's Indian Herb Bitters by using an almost identical bottle. Considering its rarity, this sales approach wasn't too successful. Of the few known examples this could be the nicest!
