Beautiful bottle. There's one currently up for auction at Glassworks (lot 14), but it has four full perfect labels which will make a big difference in value. Have to just sorta guess depending on what it brings in the end. I don't keep up with bitters values enough to take a guess, but there are several who could probably tell you pretty close. Good luck.

Dr. Flint's Quaker Bitters is a Rhode Island bottle, and they're not really super rare. I've seen quite a few of them in my days as a RI bottle collector. It's hard to tell from a few pics, but that one looks like it's in very good condition. I would estimate it at anywhere from $35-$75, again depending on condition. There's two different variants for sale on eBay right now.

Wow, I guess the labels make a bigger difference than I would've thought. The one on Glassworks is at $550 with 7 bids and 4 days to go. Thanks for that information T'kidd.

Labels are the unicorns and leprechauns of the bottle world, especially when it comes to meds and liquors... lol
