I have a bottle that is approximately 5in tall - it looks like a miniature wine type bottle. The colour is dark green, the longish neck is sort of off centre however, across the bottom of the shoulder on the body is embossed "DR SIEGERT & SONS" and on the bottom is embossed around the edge of the base is "ANGOSTURA BITTERS" and a number in the very middle.

Does anyone have any idea about this bottle?

I inherited this bottle from my grandfather (bless his soul) along with a lot of other embossed bottles with names I have never seen or heard of before. I wonder why my granddad left them for me because though they are beautiful and he used to say "they'll be worth a lot of money one day 'monkey' a name he called me - they are so fragile and hard to look after especially now when I am a student living in a shared bedroom with 2 other students so I am wondering if anyone knows how old this bottle is and whether this one in particular is worth anything in monetary value and if so how much would it be worth?

Sorry for all da questions hope someone knows something !!! Thanks Tiki Central
