It has the Federal Law Forbids... embossed on it, along with two buildings of some sort on the back. Has a metal twist lid. Numbers 56 - 6 on the bottom. Thanks for any help. Patty Post #: 1

If you can post a photo it would be great! Any Bottle embossed with "FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS..." is a liquor bottle made in the post prohibition years between 1932~1964. Your's is likely to have been made in 1956 by the marking you discribed. I have begun quite a collection of these types of bottles myself as have some others. Right now theres not a whole lot of value in them other than the enjoyment you get from them. And, I think, there are a lot of nice embossing to be found. You can see others of this type in threads in this forum. We love to share, so post a photo !! _____________________________ Keep Those Fingernails dirty, *GARY* ~Diggermeister~ (in reply to pickinpatty) Post #: 2
