1/2 gallon Wilson Distilling Co.

I dug this Wilson Distilling Co. about a year ago and wanted to know where it was from and how much it's worth. I have never seen a whiskey this big before. Thanks, Joey.

Because of the FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS embossing the bottle was made and used Post prohibition - Pre 1964. Despite it's unusual size I suspect the collector interest is quite limited and therefor the value is minimal, $5.00 or less.

Thanks Jim. I knew it wouldn't be worth very much just because it wasn't old. Still I had my hopes up[].

You might be surprised. Wilson being a fairly common name, there have always been bidders on their labeled stuff. I am a huge fan of their labels and I know other's are too. I sold a labeled pint from the 50s for 16 or so. Their minis are always good to me as well.
