RE: Mystery - 7/17/2010 12:14:05 PM    surfaceone Posts: 7132 Joined: 12/9/2008 Status: offline Hello Kevin, The degree of difficulty of figuring this out is not helped by the sideways pictures, and the lack of a picture of the entire bottle, or the base. Does the base have a LB Co. mark? There's a seller over here, that has one that he doesn't know about, as well. The logo looks very similar. There was an old discussion: http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m-1555/tm.htm I'm bettin Harry Pristis is correct about the Lincoln Bottling Co. I see on the label, what could be "Chicago." Is there "3.2 by Volume" You, or your antique friend, have seen it, or have it in hand. Can you provide more clues? A little more help, please... Here's a pyro seltzer on worthpoint, that seems to have the same logo. (in reply to Nickevlau) Post #: 4

Irish Cream maybe as Whiskey is too long for the label after Irish.  and it's 22 percent by volume (44 proof), making it more of a liqueur in strength.   _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

RE: Mystery - 7/17/2010 12:45:42 PM    Poison_Us Posts: 2954 Joined: 5/27/2009 From: Savannah, Ga. Status: offline Another thing, I'm thinking the monogram and the manufacturer listed at the base of the label are the same, so the B would not be Bottling as it is BI.  All I can make out is  'S BI under MANUFACTURED I have the photo rotated and enlarged in photoshop...makes it easier, but still too mach of the label is missing to make out much else. Got  HORB and maybe another R right after in the middle name.  Then IRISH  ( I presume CREAM came after as Whiskey And Cream are the only 2 Irish boozes I can think of) _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

Not possitive but I think it was the seaweed Irish Moss that was used rather than the terrestrial plant. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to Stickeygreen4476) Post #: 14
