Federal law forbids bottles

[JGill]

I've been coming across more and more of these bottles. I usually throw them aside but I found one the other day with a lot of embossing on it. Are these bottles worth hanging onto? Or have I been tossing aside bottles worth saving? Here are some pictures. The amber flask has all kinds of stuff going on on it. We have Ben Franklin flying a kite, two tall ships, a cameo of a man wearing a tri corner hat and some stars.

The "Federal law forbids.." embossing was required on liquor bottles from 1933 until 1964, so that dates them.. a few of them are fancy or special enough to be collectible, but generally they are considered modern and not worth much.. personally, i would keep that tall one with the ridges..

the bottle youve pictured is a paul jones whiskey, super common ill agree with cyber, theres some really neat shapes, and designs, from that era which would date to the late 30s to the mid 40s also be on the look out for refridgerator bottles mike

Warren I'd love to see some pictures maybe a group of your FLF bottles. Sorry about the title I didn't even notice how it sounded until you brought it to my attention. I think there would be a lot of outlaws if the Feds ever did someting that crazy.
