My friend dug this bottle last year, there isn't too much info about it that I can find. It's loaded with seed bubbles, too bad it's got a chunk out of it! It says "Wm. Daly" "Sole Importer" "New York",

My Pal has the chunk that broke off, for what it's worth, it was sitting in the mud right beside the bottle.

There are only two or three known examples, it's an extremely rare bottle, I would ask Jeff jeffnhol@together.net what he thinks it's worth since he has sold one of them in the past...Damage will be key in the value....Jim

A great early liquor bottle! I do have a record of one selling for $850 back in 1995 with no damage. Jim is right, i'd talk to Jeff about it and see what info he could give you. [:)]

As the "sole importer" a wonder if the bottle was made here and filled from a cask or if the bottles were shipped from abroad for Wm H full. [8|][8|]
