Hello, can anybody help with this one? Kind of shaped like a Duffy's but is older. Embossed with either a WBD or DBW monogram with an American flag (I'm saying American as it has stripes and a star) on top of a castle turret inside a shield. Thanks for any help!

The bottle form looks very similar to a Duffy's Malt Whiskey, but the monogram is nowhere near the same.

I think our best bet at figuring it out is the castle. As it has an American (??) flag on top, it may represent some particular fort.

I ran "Castle" and "Fort" through a couple databases. No one's name, in product or distiller, came back as following the acronym for WBD.

As we know Duffy's was an 1880s patent bottle that continued into the 1910s, we can at least establish an era to begin researching by. Hopefully someone better with acronyms will chime in.

Thanks, I couldn't find anything about it. Found it in Colorado but I don't know if that helps any.
