I love the picture on this one, but I don't know anything about it. Picked up from redneckest antique shop ever. Whose picture is this? I have a feeling it is an ex-President, but I can't tell. Can I get a brand and possibly as value on this one?

Thanks,
Isaac

Thanks HJ, I didn't take a picture of the heel of the bottle because its too hard to read, but it is indeed embossed with several names, one of which looks like Harry E. Wilken, Jr.

Actually, now that I know it says Wilken, the other names which follow Harry are:
Harry Wilken, Sr.
William T.(?) Wilken

All of them appear to be in script, and whats more the script differs from name to name. I presume that this was based on actual signatures, which makes them that much cooler. I didn't think about connecting that with the face, maybe I should have.

Brand was, apparently, The Wilken Family Blended Whiskey. Thanks again HJ

Isaac
