weird message on ebay from previously unknown account
I presume this is someone unsavvy who spotted a previous item and is now bored in solitude, and wants to see more. However, as you have nothing to offer, you need to do nothing more than tell him you have nothing available right now, but feel free to follow for more in the future. The Australia...- jmv

Canadian Label Catalogue - 1910
This is absolutely an amazing resource. I bet if printing technology had remained the same, and graphic design technology had remained the same, and the Internet had not arrived (essentially, if time stood still), I would be WORKING for Lawson & Jones of London, Ontario RIGHT NOW! Actually, I...- jmv

1933 Canadian Whisky or Gin?
Success! I finally found it! At least, an ad from the newspaper. It's Burnett's London Dry Gin, by Consolidated Distillers Ltd of Montreal. I thought that was a likely answer! Here are some of the ads: First, from The Montreal Gazette, June 12, 1936: Next, from The Chilliwack Progress...- jmv

84 Year old Gin bottle
This bottle is quite interesting as a prohibition relic. It was made in the years leading up to Prohibition, indicated by the Fall 1917 date. That is when it would have been ‘produced’. Gin doesn’t take nearly as long as whiskey to distill, so I wonder if it was interrupted by the onset of...- jmv

1933 Canadian Whisky or Gin?
Above are a couple pages from the booklet ‘Gunga Gin, The Cocktail Connoisseur’ by Consolidated Distilleries in 1936, featuring Corby’s. The Wiser bottles have a ‘similar’ aesthetic, although not a definite resemblance. BTW, this booklet is listed online for top $, if you ever come across a...- jmv

1933 Canadian Whisky or Gin?
Yes, that’s possible. But I expect it probably did come out in 1933 as well. I should add here I did find mention of a ‘Golden Arrow’ whisky registered by Consolidated Distilleries, Montreal in 1933. No known labels surfaced, but it would fit the look of the bottle. Consolidated is a strong...- jmv

1933 Canadian Whisky or Gin?
I received this bottle from a local digger as a gift, and it’s quite attractive. I don’t recall if I’ve ever seen this design advertised, and am wondering if anyone recognizes it. It has Rd. [Registered] 1933 marked on the bottom, with a C in an inverted triangle (Consumers Glass Co, Ville...- jmv

Bearded Old Man Whiskey Bottle
Update! I just took a closer look at the 1930 or 1931 edition of the booklet, and I see that Old Overholt American Rye appears to be using the SAME old man with a beard bottle! http://www.distilleryheritage.com/PDFs/ephemera/cocktails1931.pdf The website above calls this the 1930 edition, but...- jmv
