Hey RWE, VERY NICE!! []I really like the "I dream of Genie" style bottle. I can't quite make out the numbers and other things embossed on the bottlm of the bottles you posted photos of. If you would please post a discription of the words and symbols that would be GREAT... []
If you ever decide to sell any of these, or wishto send along any duplicates you may have, just let me know via e-mail. Thanks,GARY
BTW; I have set up a yahoo! for these type of bottles. If you and ANYONE ELSE would like to go to this link to discuss and share photos of your post~prohibition bottles it's;

Well, as of 6/13/05, the link is not working right. However, if you click on it (above) and then on the "HERE' link on the page it takes you to and type in the key phrase "federal law forbids" you'll get there. Feel free to join [sm=lol.gif]
ps> I'll get it working soon [8|]

That first one is a Jim Beam bottle and I believe that that color isnt as rare as the amber ones. I think those are in Kovels (2002) for about $30.

I went diving today thinking of your project, & wa-lah, found one for you:

Front:
"FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS SALE OR RE-USE OF THIS BOTTLE" Small Caps
"GORDON'S" Big Caps
Side:
"NEW JERSEY" Big Caps
Other Side:
"LINDEN" Big Caps
Bottom:
Really cute roaring dragon's head I can get clear on a picture, about the size of a quarter, and an Owens-Illinois mark, with the "I" basically invisible, but the oval & diamond very clear. "58" to the left of the mark, "54" to the right of the mark, and "R-514" below the mark. What type of closure was it? Not quite a screw-top.
