]. If you can post a photo it would be great! Any Bottle embossed with "FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS..." is a liquor bottle made in the post prohibition years between 1932~1964. Your's is likely to have been made in 1956 by the marking you discribed. I have begun quite a collection of these types of bottles myself as have some others. Right now theres not a whole lot of value in them other than the enjoyment you get from them. And, I think, there are a lot of nice embossing to be found. You can see others of this type in threads in this forum. We love to share, so post a photo [sm=rolleyes.gif]!!]I have the same bottle, which I just picked up at a thrift store. It has two caps - the outer one is made of black bakelite and was probably used as a shot glass, the inner one is missing, but when the outer one is screwed on, you can't see the inner one anyway! It is the R-174, 56-7 model, with all the embossing and the sharp edge on the flat spot on the back side of the bottle, I would have assumed it to be much older, but that's OK, the next time I brew a batch of beer, I'll probably put some amber beer in it and cork it to keep out the oxygen and mold. I wish I could see what the labels looked like since it has a flat space on the front (probably where the actual main label was placed), and then on the back, there's a large flat space which looks like a shield had been and what looks like a certification or "blue ribbon" space below that. The embossings (on the back) look to be an old (1700's-type) government building or church (no crosses) to the left, and what looks like a more modern capitol building (domed roof and flags). The embossing on the front are kind of a sunburst-type of look above and below the label, and I don't know how to describe the other thing that looks like an oval depiction of the sun in a bit of mantling or something. Besides that there's the "Old Mr. Boston and Fed Law Prohibits..." embossing.Hello Patty, and welcome to an awsome forum [
