Vodka bottle in family barn. - 3/3/2010 9:47:05 PM    munkin919   Posts: 12 Joined: 3/3/2010 From: Jasper Alabama Status: offline I found a Don Cossack Vodka bottle in my great grandfathers barn (deceased). It is clear, approx 11 1/2 tall and it is shaped like a soldier holding a sword in a scabbard with his right hand his left hand is holding the bottom of the scabbard. There are 8 lines on each side if his chest (flags?). He has a molded face and legs and feet that are molded into the glass about 1 1'12 inches from the bottom of the bottle (appearing to protrude from an overcoat/uniform). The words Don Cossack are embossed across his upper back. The bottom of the bottle reads: FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS SALE OR REUSE OF THIS BOTTLE.4/5 Quart and what appears to sat R 72. I have been unable to locate this bottle on the internet .  Can anyone help me? Sorry I have no pic, camera is broken. Post #: 1
