Picked up this classic label this morning at the antique mall I have a case in. Yesterday I noticed pictures on the malls Facebook group page being posted by one of the guys that work there and in one of the pictures this bottle was shown mixed in with stuff in a new vendors floor space. I was just there the day before and it wasn't there, so they must have put in after I left that day. I had to go back anyway this morning to add a few more things to my case and was hoping it was still there, it was and it was priced very reasonable so I snagged it. One of the cooler labels HW used, I did a search for it and couldn't find any shown but did find that there was also a Jack of Clubs made as well. A picture of my bottle and one of the Jack of Clubs I found on-line.

When you say you picked up the labels, I guess is they weren't on bottles already that someone just has labels that they're selling?

Sounds like: A) your collection just got a new subdivision B) a great idea by the 'Tique Mall Management to have card shark collectors running from booth to booth C) Somebody's deck is 2 cards light D) The King shouldn't walk alone :)

No, the label is original to the bottle as it was when new, I just meant the label version used by Hiram Walker...... ;)

Actually, my collection has several "subdivisions", these vintage flask style bitters is just one, I only pick them up when I find a cooler looking label, same with my other subdivisions. It keeps these smaller collections just that, smaller. It also comes in handy when I don't come across what I mainly collect..;)
