Case gins

[rockbot]

I was wondering if your State or Town had local embossed case gins? We have quite a few in Hawaii but I don't recall seeing other local towns. Usually palmboom or some European named ones is all I see.
Thanks!

Good question Tony...I've never seen one here, but that would be really cool.

Hey Tony,

Good question. stLouisbottles is looking for one from St. Louis: https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/WTB-Lange-%26-Bernecker-St-Louis-Case-Gin/m-406957/tm.htm

I know there is a Paul Jones model, but beyond that I'm scratching my head.

I, alas, have yet to dig an intact case gin from anywhere, though I got close shapewise with that Litthauer Stomach Bitters...

Here is a few of my local gins.

So I would guess not much gins from other States etc? anybody else have or know of any? Just curious. Thanks.

I've only seen a few from any state. They seem to be the odd man out when they do show up... I have seen quite a few cylinders and squares with gin embossed on them... Possibly American glass houses didn't offer case bottles normally?

There is a purty one from Boston; I dug one once and then saw the below labeled example on eBay...didn't bring much though ($40).
