Beautiful fifths, Mike. We dig a variety of nice bottles here in Central PA, but embossed whiskeys are something that we almost never get the pleasure of finding. Other than an occasional embossed strap-side flask and a few common clear rectangles, it's mostly plain old coffin flasks [:'(]. I know they still deserve a little respect, but I honestly just get sick of seeing them. ~Jim
The far west of the late 1860s to 1890 was THE PLACE for fancy, embossed whiskies, both cylinders and flasks included. How about a few more. The flask in the center is no longer with me. A fellow collector plied me with MUCHO DINERO and walked away with it.
There are two of those windows in our shack, one on each side of the fireplace. At this time they are the only windows with sills to set bottles on. I did have a big lighted display cabinet, but took it down to redo the hardwood floors and never set it back up. Some of my Lyon's Powders are there, too. Lemme know if y'all are interested in pics of those. I have 58 different colors, and can't display all of them at one time.
