Jackson’s Aromatic Life Bitters
10 July 2014
Earlier today, I put up a post on the (Thuringer) Aromatic Stomach Bitters. It got me thinking of the great, Jackson’s Aromatic Life Bitters. Somewhat similar, I though I would sequence them up and look at some Jackson examples today. My dark yellow olive example (pictured above) has a smooth base, applied sloping collar mouth and is crude glass that is full of seed bubbles. It is somewhat lighter than other examples that I have seen. It is also ex. Carlyn Ring. There are two different dark olive green examples pictured below.
I’m afraid I have no clue where this bottles is from or what the story is with it. I am suspecting New York. I doubt it is related to Jackson’s Stonewall Bitters.
The Carlyn Ring and W.C. Ham listing in Bitters Bottles is as follows:
