1925 Prohibition FULL Bourbon bottle Boone's Knoll

Good PINT, er point...I did put in the eBay qualifiers, but I know the PO takes a dim view even of BOXES labelled for alcohol...PS. the bottle is embossed 1/2 pint, but the label is 1 pint. Thank you, Heather

Digger O'Dell wrote a great piece (copyright 2004) about bottles of this group; the distillery was owned by E.J. Curley, later swallowed up by the American Medicinal Spirits Company - they bought up a lot of labels including Old Crow and Jim Beam.
