Flemings Export Pure Rye

[sassycb]

Hello everyone, long time no talk. I recently acquired this bottle. I've been looking at it for about a year now and finally bought it. The antique shop owner told me his wife got the bottle from a deceased uncle in West Virginia about 30 years ago. Needless to say he forgot they had it in the shop. He gave me a discount, and now its mine. It's hard to see in the pics, but it's sun colored amethyst. I'm having a hard time finding it in any of my books(4). Will someone please tell me about the bottle and its possible value? Thanks all. Christine

Hi Christine,

I used to have one that had the same embossing but in amber. Always figured it was made during Prohibtion years. Nice shape to the bottle. Not sure of value, think I got about 8-10 bucks for the one I had. That was about 10 years ago. Still haven't seen many around though. A little info in any case.

Oh Ya,

Here's a miniature of your Fleming's it's 3 3/4 in tall. Just says "Bottled expressly for Family use" on the back though. Neat little bottle.
