    Looking for a really good reference on Boston Whiskey bottles. Anyone got a recommendation?? Found a copy of "Antique Whiskey Bottles" by John Howe that really was great...for Californina Whiskey bottles. Really would love to find something like that for Boston. Many, many thanks.

    Lexington MO beer bottle

    Hi, Found this old embossed beer bottle from the Lexington Brewing Company. Not the Lexington Kentucky that I first thought of either. Instead it is from the Lexington MO area. An online search revealed that this brewery was a major bust for the FBI during the prohibition year of 1929. It...

    Whiskey bottle w beer name? Beer name W Whiskey bottle??

    Hi, Really kind of weird but this is seeming a little bit backwards to me. I did a post on "Hampden Tap from Boston" this morning. With a name like Hampden Tap you would think it was a beer bottle but it appears to be a whiskey bottle shape. This bottle that I am currently picturing seems to...
