Aeroplane cocktail, how much would it take

[Kilroy]

How much would you have to drink to climb aboard a rickety looking plane like this one.

I found an embossed version of this bottle at a bottle show years ago(a little beat up) and a year or so later this came up at auction and I had to have it. That's how I usually end up collecting something out of my normal area of focus.

THIS BOTTLE HAS SO MUCH GOING FOR IT ON SO MANY LEVELS TO ME! 1ST-YEP THE GRAPHICS! THE "AEROPLANE" AS THEY WERE CALLED IN THE LATE 19-TEENS-1920S. THE HATS WORN BY THE MEN AND DRESS IS PURE 19-TEENS-EARLY 20S. THE LABLE IS BRIGHT AND PERFECT! LOOKS LIKE THE BOTTLE IS AS GREAT AS IT LOOKED NEW! ]2 I LOVE THE SHAPE OF THE BOTTLE ,ESPECIALLY THAT COOL NECK! WHAT COLOR IS IT LOOKS PEACH? WOW! I LOVE THIS ONE![&:] JAMIE

Thanks much for the comments.
Jamie, it's a clear bottle, the color comes from something nearby, not sure what. I agree with you about the time period, it has to be in that era pretty much due to when flight was discovered and then prohibition.

The bottle I bought at a bottle show that led to the purchase of this bottle came from the estate of a local digger I met when I went to my first bottle meeting in around 1985. He invited me over and showed me his collection. He had by far the best local collection around and was still actively digging until just before he passed away in around 2002 and was in his 90's. He was an awesome person who I talked to at every local show and greatly enjoyed his company. The bottle community lost a great one with his passing.

Not my normal area of collection, but as a pilot I have to say, WOW! Love the graphics. Nice piece.
