Elk's Pride Whiskey

[jgas443]

Found this in a privy dig in Indiana. I have done some research on it and most say it is a Rare and Unique find. Not sure if its an eastern or western whiskey. What do ya think. They all say its going to be a real $$$ winner as far as that goes. But I would love to know where it is from and from whom. One suggestion was Adolph Harris from S.F. California or JS Low of Pennsylvania. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. Yep I saw that one on the net. After several searches around the country and speaking with several people, it does not appear to be one from Pennsylvania. I have the feelers out in SanFrancisco as well. Some bottle auctions say it is a Rare and Unique bottle. One that may skyrocket in value if I could just pinpoint it to where it came from. Either an eastern or western whiskey. It is a cool old bottle and I know that it must either be rare or a Maverick type bottle. No one has seen one like it as far as the research goes to this stage of the game. Thanks again for the replies. jgas
