I thought it was a dragon's head, but it could be a particularly nasty boar's head, and if that was Gordon's trademark, that must be it. I'll try to get better pix of it for you. Seems like alot of trouble to go to to emboss on the BOTTOM of the bottle.

Hey Bettyboop, I got the 'horn of plenty' bottle [8D] and sent you postage reimbursement plus a little extra []. I thought I'd mention that it was the first and only (so far) reproduction bottle I have seen with the, "federal law..." warning. THANKS
BTW: I am still looking for more examples of these bottles (fed law). I will purchase or except as a donation any embossed ones that you may want to send my way.
Also, feel free to visit the link below to post a photo (after membership is granted) and share your knowlege or just see whats up with these "future" collectables.
The future must be now cause their getting collected. I've got about 50 now [] and the group is up to 8 members and growing [sm=lol.gif]

hey all an diggermeister. the reason for the post is ive noticed that most fed law forbids are screw top here a few that arnt. was wondring when they stopped the cork.

Hey $Bill, Seems that corks were used on some bottles for the entire 29 years that "Federal Law..." was required on (hard) liquor bottles. Alot of the more pricey whiskeys as well as many of the comemeratives, such as the E C Booze Cabins, kept the cork. And, I might add, some still do to this day. []
I will post a photo tomorrow of a couple that used corks from my ever expaning collection. []
BTW; I'm Still looking to buy or except donations of these type (fed. law) of bottles. If anybody has any with embossed pictures, trademarks/logos, patterns, etc. please contact me with what you want for them.
The research is moving ahead and I may have something in the form of a thesis ready by years end. Sections of this pre-publication 'guide' will be availible on the link listed below soon for your enjoyment and welcomed input.
Please feel free to join the group (listed below) to get in on the ground floor of these up and coming collectables. [8D]
THANKS, GARY
