Label & Embossed Bay Rum - need help with embossing

[jane8851]

I picked this up today and was wondering about the embossing. I can't really read all of it as it's somewhat covered by the label. Bottle is a nice honey amber with applied lip, base embossed B&R, side embossed ? Standard Perey Works NY?. Label is for French's Bay Rum.

I'm curious about the embossing and origin of bottle, thanks.

Shot of embossing....

The pics are a little to small. You might want to try a pencil rubbing for the rest of the embossing though.
If there wasn't a label I'd swear it was a whiskey. It makes me wonder about all the whiskey's that that get sold.
Nice to see something to the contrary.
Keep in mind though that some bottles did get reused and relabeled.

The forum won't let me post anything bigger. I'll do a rubbing though. It looks a little small for a whiskey, only 8 3/4" tall.

Tried a different camera. This one is much better. Any guesses on what it says?

French's Bay Rum, that would go well with the French's root beer/Worcestershire sauce.

I just picked up the same bottle with no label. I found a page on Yahoo describing it as a perfume from NYC, NY. Could the Rum label be a ruse that someone stuck on the bottle? I know someone who had a bunch of old labels that he would stick on anything to sell them better.
