Heres a bottle I have that appears to be the same but a newer version of the bottle you have shown. Its embossed Peter Dawson Distillers LTD ,with number 55 embossed on base. I purchased this one at a antique shop in NY. for around $3.00. I dont have any imformation on its history.

I see them around here for 3-5 dollars apiece. I do like that cobalt whiskey behind it. What is it?

Colbalt colored whiskey is more purple than blue. I picked it up from a digger. Its a 3 piece mold unembossed and cleaned up good. Any whiskey with this dark color I would assume is radiated , but still the most colorerful bottle in my whiskey collection that I wont part with. If any one has a real cobalt caspers that they would like to donate I would gladly accept. Did caspers have a cobalt repro. When I first started collecting I saw one for $20.00 I didnt buy it as I knew nothing about it. A week later I went back to purchase it and it was gone. This one was cheap and mint so Figure it might have bee a repro.

I was just about to ask about the Whiskey also ! It looks Cobalt on my browser also.
No Casper repros out there . And for 20.00 , you passed up a DEAL ( they were bringing 100.00 - 125.00 twenty five years ago )! The Cobalt Casper's usually bring in the 425.00 - 625.00 range ( unless it's the scarcer Cobalt 4 cities examples then 725.00 - 1000.00 ). And the scarcer Clear Casper's usually in the 525.00 - 725.00 range .

Do yo think it was sun radiated or microwaved? Could it be an original, in that color?

I have let bottles go that I thought were good, just to go home and check the price on them, only to find them gone when I get back. Thems the breaks!!
