About Antique Bitters Bottles

Bitters (made from roots, herbs, and other natural elements) were supposedly the cure-all for stomach ailments, but were also essentially alcohol disguised as medicines, especially popular wherever and whenever alochol was frowned upon. Known for their colors, ornate logo designs, and unusual barrel or figure-like shapes, there are a wide variety of distinctive bitters bottles dating to the early 1800's.
