I found this in a thrift store.
M. H. Chamberlain, Silver Rye, Detroit, Michigan.
Info from one site:
"M.H. Chamberlain Co. Distillery was located in Detroit Michigan and was in operation from about 1879 to 1900. The company was a whiskey, bourbon, and rye distillery operation, which their advertising items rarely surface. After 1900, the company became known as C.H. Ritter & Co and it continued the Chamberlain brand name."

I dated this to be circa 1888 because it was made by Queen City Silver Co., which is supposed to have begun in that year.
Amusing note, it froze to my bare, wet skin, so I brought it inside for the photos (11 F or -11.6 C degrees out).
