STEINFELD PRINCIIPAL DEPOT OF THE FRENCH COGNAC BITTERS, Store Card, Fuld F-630BU-3(either E, F, or J, depending on white metal, silver, or german silver) could not tell you the rarity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Simon Steinfeld was a New York City merchant who started advertising himself as the &quot;sole importer and agent&quot; for French Cognac Bitters in 1855. At this point Steinfeld converted his 70 Nassau Street candy and confections store into a saloon. When coins became scarce in 1862, Steinfeld ordered encased postage stamps to make change for his customers. His encasements have a lengthy pitch for French Cognac Bitters: &quot;An unfailing remedy for diseases of the liver and digestive organs.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
