My name is Jimmy Turner and I am the Great Grandson of Joseph A Magnus. His company, the Jos. A.Magnus & Co., located in Cincinnati, distributed and distilled a successful line of Pre Pro spirits. Since I was last on this site in the fall of 2012, I have collected a few bottles but, am still searching for and bottles with labels and any supporting advertising materials.. His flagship brand was Murray Hill Club but,he had a line of other accepted brands listed below. I have seen Murray Hill Club, Bob Taylor and Uncle Bob labels on the internet but, have never acquired any.

The company used the brand names:
"Apollo Club Rye", "Asa Holt", "Bob Taylor", "Bonnie Brook", "Golden Rule", "Lover's Delight", "Magnus Horseshoe", "Magnus Private Stock", "Magnus XXX", "Maximus", "Murray Hill Club", "Police", "Royal Seal", "Sand Mountain", "Seth Wakefield", "Tom Boone's Old Randolph", "Uncle Bob", "Vigilant", and "Ye Olde Tavern Fine Rye."

Any help or leads to other collectors would be great as I continue to be on an incredible family adventure.
