Recently I was able to reacquire a bottle which I dug many years ago...lost in the pick, purchased it later, traded it, and now am grateful ...
Interesting, it seems that Epstein kept selling the product until at least 1875. What age are we putting on this bottle, 1868-1870 ?
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic bottle! I understand it also comes in dark amber, aqua and GREEN??? Another Henley's related product which must have also been a poor seller...like the OK Spiced Wine Bitters, Eye Opener, Dew of the Alps, Regulator, and Indian Queen Hair Restorative. Come to think of it, were it not for the IXL, which was really the only "home run" in the vast product line between Wm. Henley, and Louis Gross, one could look at some serious dysfunction in either timing, or sales skills. Dale M.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, Stephen H. could likely tell you a specific date range for this bottle, but I believe it is after 1870. I cannot recall what he said regarding when this bottle was produced. I was drooling all over it and missed that part.
ReplyDeleteAnd while we're talking about missed opportunities, let's not forget the one and only Dr. Henley's Tamarack. It was "worth it's weight in gold".
