Keep up the good work. I'm wondering if you have come to the conclusion that this anomaly was formed by a 'pinch' in the molten glass as the mold was being closed? It seems like the logical event that caused this. I think this is born out by the fact that you usually see thick glass behind the anomaly (caused by the pinch). Take care! Hey Red,

I also read Hagenbuch's article on this subject. I have seen a Rosenbaums Bitters, R93 in Ham's book with this same anomaly repair. I have only seen one example with it, and several examples without it. It does make sense that maybe this was a temporary repair, until another mold could be made to replace the damaged one. Have you ever seen this type of repair done on a western made/blown bottle? I was of the opinion that this R93 variant of the Rosenbaums Bitters was an eastern made mold, along with blown bottles from the East. After reading your explanation and Hagenbuch's article, I believe this western distributed bitters was an Eastern made mold, and probably Eastern blown bottles as well. Red,
