Bitters--Arnold Theller Three Part Mold

A THELLER (SHOULDER) / ARNOLD THELLER (BASE) This heavily whittled, deep yellow-olive, 3-part mold bottle shades nicely to an olive amber in the lower half. ARNOLD THELLER is the New York "compounder located on Vesey St.", who produced the Theller's (Celebrated) / Stomach Bitters (Ring 1980: 455). One was offered on ebay last December, but the high bid of $201 did not meet the sellers reserve. Some time before 1885, Arnold and Cornell Theller began using a bottle and label "designed to imitate Hostetter" and may have set a precedent in trademark violation law. A final decision was "handed down" to Theller as described in an 1889 Pittsburgh newspaper article. This item for sale here is obviously not THAT bottle, but could be either a different product or a smaller size/shape for his bitters. CONDITION: An about perfect bottle with some slight remaining residue in the shoulders, and two dings on the backside, one at the base and one midway down the neck (both are so minor that I cannot get sharp closeup pics). Some crazing lines and crudity; a few very minor and very light scratches or scuffs here and there, maybe a speck of rust or dirt here and there. This appears to be a bottle recovered from a surface dump in topsoil, and not privy dug, showing no case wear or ground wear or anything detracting from it's near mint and shiney appearance. Never cleaned, doesn't need it. There is also a RED CLOUD BITTERS / VOWINKLE & THELLER with A&DHC on the base (Ring 1980:393) as well as a later, label-only grenadine syrup showing "A. Theller New York" as the distributor, (see the label pic - a different, later bottle). I have searched ebay for 5 months now looking for another Arnold Theller bottle and have only found the square bitters and the later grenadine syrup.
