Lot 169:
Russ’ Stomach Bitters —
A Rare Find Indeed!

This rare and beautiful “lady’s leg” type bitters bottle was
discovered just a couple of months ago in an old barn north
of Portland, along the coast of Main. The barn, and attached
house, were purchased recently and were undergoing
renovations at the time. Workers were putting new roof
boards on the barn when the bottle was found hiding under
an eve. The homeowners nearly gave the bottle to the roofer!
