[attachment=2015-02-05 003.JPG] [attachment=2015-02-05 001.JPG] [attachment=2015-02-05 002.JPG] Found this Paul Jones Four Roses bottle at an Antique Mall. It's embossed New Protective Bottle Adopted July 1914. Paul Jones Co. Louiusville, Ky. Also embossed with the roses. Just picked it up to add to collection of other whiskey bottles. Anyone have any info of when this bottle was used? Buster

After the end of prohibition (?) up to 1964... Jim

No, that could only have been used in the mid to late teens, up until the start of prohibition. That's not a "Federal Law Prohibits..." message, it just looks like one.

Thanks for the replies.Jim, I thought that the embossing read "Federal Law Prohibits" until I took the bottle off the shelf. Canadian, I'm not sure what a "New Protective Bottle " means. Only info that I came across mwas that the company went to this style bottle after the ones with the applied seal. Buster[attachment=2015-01-05 018.JPG]

It looks like an early Kork-N-Seal closure. Maybe that's what it's referring to?

I've seen the Four Roses flasks, but never the cylinder.

Mea Culpa. I couldn't read the embossing and ASS U ME d it was the post prohibition wording. Sorry for misleading. Jim

Thanks for the replies, Jim, Jimbo, and EricEric, I did a search on Images of Four roses bottles and located one with a porcelain pouring spout. I also did a Google Patent search on Porcelain Caps patented in !914. Seems that there was a patent on a device to prevent refilling bottles. According to the patent it could be manufactured as stated below. "The various parts of the device are preferably made of aluminum, although it will be understood that other metals, glass or porcelain can be employed." Maybe that is what the New Protective Bottle meant. To prevent refilling their bottles. Buster

Sounds good, the date is right anyway. This are they I think? []

The insert is embossed on the top "Pat Feb 17 14" (or possibly 11), and " Reuse Prohibited ". The lead wrapper reads: K ??? To the Trade ; Four Roses ; Absolute Purity Guaranteed By Paul Jones & Co., Louisville, KY.
