Hi Everyone,
This is my first post on this forum, and I am very new to antique bottles. Today I was at a local garage sale in northeast Ohio and came across two cool looking old bottles I thought would look nice in my office. The green bottle was $2 and the brown bottle was $3. I have been searching online for some information on the bottles, but haven't found much. I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I would really appreciate it! I enjoy collecting antiques and this might become a new hobby of mine.
Here is the info/description on the 2 bottles along with pictures:
1. Green Napier Johnstone's Extra Old Highland Whiskey
This bottle used to use a cork as a stopper. There are 2 total seams on the body of the bottle that run on opposite sides of each other up until the first lip starts. There are also 2 seams on the top of the bottle, but they do not line up with the 2 seams on the body of the bottle. There are some oval shaped bubbles in the glass. The bottom of the bottle reads "JL & Co Lo C 2522" around the inner circle.
2. Brown Ball Bottle
The bottle is sealed with a plastic screw on cap. At the top of the body reads "Federal Law Forbids Sale or Re-Use of this Bottle". The front of the bottle has a design that looks like 2 doors or something. There is a "W" on each of the "doors". Near the bottom edge reads "76 Ball 54". The back of the bottle has a "W" inside what looks like an upsidedown pentagon with a crown on top. At the bottom of the back of the bottle reads "One Pint" with a D6 small underneath. The bottom of the bottle reads "Bottled by Hiram Walker & Sons Limited. Walkerville Canada. Bottle Made in USA"
Thank you very much for any information anybody knows about these 2 bottles. Have a great weekend!
