Jacob's Cabin Bitters bottle

Sharpgirl03

My husband and I bought a Jacob's Cabin bitters bottle today and I started reading up on it. I read about the repro's that are etched with serial numbers, but the bottle we have has no serial # on it. It has all the other markings, but no serial # at all. Just wondering what this means?

Post some photos and we can tell you more!

Here are pics of my Jacob's Cabin bottle. I looked at the bottom of the bottle under a microscope and found no etched serial #. Any info I can get would be helpful! Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jeff, this is one of the places I got my original info. I just don't know why my bottle has no etched serial # on it. The search goes on....

If it helps, I did see an example without serial number at the Baltimore bottle show this past weekend.

I have one of these that is etched #391. I also have the concentric eagle flask. Any idea of their value? They are part of an estate and need to be sold.

Please post a photo of the base of your Jacob's bottle. Glad to help.

You can start a new thread for the concentric ring flask - I need to see a picture of that for sure.

I appreciate any input. I'll start a new thread for the flask with pic.

Thanks very much for posting your (very nice and clear) photos and starting a new thread for the concentric eagle flask.

This one does seem to have more than the average collectible value for a modern piece. I seem to recall that they can sell in the $100 or so range.
