Need help iding bottle - 1/18/2012 5:34:31 PM    AMCS   Posts: 63 Joined: 1/18/2012 Status: offline Hi. I found a bottle out behind an old church. It is embossed on the front with Fedeal law forbids sale or re-use of this bottle. and it has a really cool looking coat of arms or crest. The bottom says continental distilling corp philidelphia pa with some numbers. Any idea if its worth anything and why the fed warning embossed? id post a pic but it is too large, so i have to figure out how to make it smaller. bottle is clear and has a seam all the way up. Thanks!! Post #: 1

Bottles embossed with "Federal law forbids....." were liquor bottles made between 1933 and 1964 (post-prohibition legislation required this) and unless they are really special, they are generally considered valueless to bottle collectors.. < Message edited by cyberdigger -- 1/18/2012 5:55:09 PM > (in reply to AMCS) Post #: 2

They are common and date from the late 1940's or so. Looks like someone was hiding a drinking problem :) _____________________________ Looking for non-screw or crown top sodas,beers, & ect, BIM medicines, bitters, druggists, and anything hand blown and black glass.
