The bottom is where it says Federal law... the other numbers are 2 D-125mTc 1
For the mTc it looks like the m and c are very small and tucked under the top line of the T, possibly the manufacturers mark. i believe it is a 4/5 quart.

You are more than welcome to this bottle, cover shipping and it is yours shoot me an e-mail if you would like to have it. Josh

Hello All, I did not want the thread to die so young.
Thanks to all who have responded so far []! But, I know that there are still MANY of these type bottles in a lot of your hands [sm=rolleyes.gif].
I really think it's time that a catalogue of these was in the works. I know that most of you don't want to (or can't) undertake this task so, PLEASE help me as I attempt it [&:].
No need to be shy; just post a photo or discription or both and I'll run with it. So far I have only about twenty and that makes for a pretty thin and incomplete guide book.
Thanks!!!
ps> I'm still interested in buying some examples and accepting donations of them as well (shipping costs paid). I'll be giving credit to all who contribute []

hello there digger---


I have afew pro botts i can take pics for ya,and might have a few to get rid of,..

belive it or not there is a market for these types of bottles,especialy the old shot glass from that time peroid!....

ill get pics asap for ya...

 

[diggermeister]

Hello WhiteLighting, and thanks for the response. There are a few of these types that are starting to be sought after and I suppose that, as time goes by, that number will increase. Thus the need for a catalogue [].
Right now there aren't any that do very well on eBay; I've been looking and picking up some of them. Most get NO bids and very few 'hits'. A few only get one bid, mine. I'm also copying down any info listed there to help with my research [8|]...
btw; I'm not sure what you mean by "shot glass" style. Could you please enlighten me?Thanks Again!

I got 2 decanter style bottles I'll send you. They still have the glass/cork tops and gold paint. 1 say's rye and 1 says bourbon, and on the bottom is the embossed "federal law prohibits..." thingy. If your interested send my your address and I'll get them mailed out sometime this month. I'm not sure how much shipping will be so send me some cash or a check in the amount of the shipping price on the package when you get it and they're yours. Swiz
