That is a nice label, but your timing is off. Any whiskey from after prohibition repeal, until 1962 would have to have the " Federal Law Prohibits" embossing in the glass. Also, that circular ring on the base is from an early automatic bottle machine. Probably blown between 1906 and 1920, so you have a 'pre-prohibition' label in great condition. Congratulations!

Interesting, I'm not fully up to par on these earlier whiskey flasks, still learning, I'm not doubting your word, but it sure looks all original to me.

I don’t think his timing is off. The Illinois tax stamp is dated 1934.

I'm guessing that my bottle which is made by O/I and is pat. pending makes me wonder if the government allowed this bottle to be used with proper tax stamps applied until the old stock of bottles was used up and then started using the "Federal Law Prohibits" embossed bottles, I guess this because of how close to after prohibition it is.

On December 5, 1933, the 21st Amendment (Prohibition) was ratified.
The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment of January 16, 1919, ending the nationwide prohibition of alcohol.

“Federal Law Prohibits” wasn’t required on liquor bottles until 1935. Illinois Glass Company didn’t combine with Owens until 1929. So that and the date on the tax sticker pretty much puts the date at 1934.

Here's another example, I picked this one up just a day or two ago, it also would date to just after repeal. It also does not have the FLP embossing.

rare, historic with great graphics; these bottles have everything needed to be great collectables. When a teenager digging with my dad in the late 1960's we would not even bring home a lot of blown bottles with dates embossed from the 1880's because they weren't even a hundred years old yet. That was a big mistake. Bottles like these scream "keep me, I'm going up in value every day."
