Need help iding bottle

[Usnslacker]

Hi. I found a bottle out behind an old church. It is embossed on the front with Fedeal law forbids sale or re-use of this bottle. and it has a really cool looking coat of arms or crest. The bottom says continental distilling corp philidelphia pa with some numbers. Any idea if its worth anything and why the fed warning embossed? id post a pic but it is too large, so i have to figure out how to make it smaller. bottle is clear and has a seam all the way up. Thanks!!

Welcome to the forum!
Bottles embossed with "Federal law forbids....." were liquor bottles made between 1933 and 1964 (post-prohibition legislation required this) and unless they are really special, they are generally considered valueless to bottle collectors..

I dug one of those when I first started collecting. They are common and date from the late 1940's or so. Looks like someone was hiding a drinking problem

here is a pic of the crest. Does it look familuar?

Just the crest the company used on their bottles, it's of no value at all...welcome to the forum....Jim

I got one just like that, only in dark amber, from a free bag of trashy screw top bottles.

UDL, United Distillers Limited made in Canada some time after 1933 as others have said.
