I've got an old quaker bottle too, with the embossed guy and the original cap. I like it a lot. I wouldn't drink them, they most likely weren't properly kept in the certain temperature (I can't remember it).

If it's not cloudy or evaporated, go for it. I tried a couple early 30's nippers and they were smooth. I don't like hard stuff either. If it bites, it shouldn't be bad.
It's a shame they were in the attic though, I might be concerned about the changes in temperature.
They'll sell better full though.
