That bottle has the initials ATR embossed on the shoulder, the bulge in the neck has a distinctive feature being multi-flatsided. I'm aware of two examples in collections.
I believe this line up represents all of the actual western blown lady's leg bitters.With the possible exception of the Cusparia Bitters. The ATR is a western bitters in my opinion although I do not know what the initials represent. Dale M.
Never thought of the ladys leg connection. I do know that that laid on ring top style is one of my favorites on any bottle. Repaired does not matter to me. having an example of those rare bottles in any condition is quite an accomplishment. cal49er

Two have repairs, to set record straight.
DeletePretty rare examples, definitely the kind of bottles that never come up for sale on the top of sales tables at bottle shows. I miss those days.
ReplyDeleteRepaired or not, try finding even a piece of one of those bottles.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the bottle on the far right ?
