Bininger’s Knickerbocker Wine Bitters
03 November 2013
I just love the old files that are being held by the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division in Washington, D.C. I just wish they would make more color files available. In this case we are looking at a body label and neck label for Bininger’s Knickerbocker Wine Bitters. Listed in Bitters Bottles by Carlyn Ring and W.C. Ham as:
B 97 Neck Label … BININGER’S KNICKERBOCKER WINE BITTERS
A. M. Bininger & Co., Sole Proprietors, 338 Broadway, New York
B 98 Body Label … BININGER’S KNICKERBOCKER WINE BITTERS
A. M. Bininger & Co., Sole Proprietors, 338 Broadway, New York
Made to fit a Bininger bottle 11 1/2 x 3
Round, Green, ARM
I wonder if there are any surviving bottles with the labels intact? I doubt it.
