I got this one off the bay the other day. I picked it up only because I liked the Austrian Eagle on it (see close-up as compared to an Austrian heller).
I've been unable to find out anything on either the company or names present on the bottle.
The address, 1433 Wells Street, Chicago, was a boiler place from at least 1917 into Prohibition.
It is, International Liquor Co., Chicago, Illinois.
The Brandy once in here was Eggs Brandy, owned by what looks like:
F. Wagner & Ch. Sack of Th?????? (Illinois?). It's too tiny of print to read smudged.
While it is tooled, it shows one seam (pictured above) being moved rather than obliterated. An interesting feature, albeit I've seen it before on newer (1900s) tooled top whiskey bottles.
The Brandy is now syrup.
So, questions are:
Anything on the company
Age
Scarcity
Was it a sample (see compared to other Whiskeys)
Eggs Brandy-- Eggs?
