In 1991, Eric McGuire, of Petaluma, California, did us a great favor by publishing Bottled Products And The U.S. Patent Office. Information that has not been readily available, a total of 13,777 nineteenth century registrations, is listed and cross referenced in three volumes totaling 1965 pages on 22 microfiche sheets. Only from McGuire do we learn that Durant and Company, a firm in Trinidad, British West Indies, began to put out this brand in May, 1887, and registered the trademark on May 8, 1888. The essential features of the trademark consisted of a box or packing case with two labeled bottles standing upright upon the cover, the words "Ramsey's Trinidad Aromatic Bitters" on the side of the box, and the signature of Peter Arthur Ramsey, who must have been the fellow who concocted the formula originally. (From "Medicine Chest", a column by Dr. Richard Cannon for Antique Bottle & Glass Collector magazine).

The trade mark registered by Durant & Co.:

The company used the brand name: "Ramsey's Trinidad Aromatic Bitters."
