Old whiskey bottle

[Brian Mc]

Can anyone tell me what the markings mean and how old this bottle is. The markings are on the piece of paper.

I need a picture of the whole bottle hard to tell just for the bottom but it looks it appears to be very early maybe 1890s but you need a picture of the whole bottle to get a correct estimate on age

Thanks Knickneff. It's an old bottle belonging to my parents. I can find very little info on the distillery it came from its closed so long. Just trying to date the bottle so we know how old it's contents are. If they sell it they want to be honest about it's age. They knew it was over 100 years old but how much older they are not sure. Trying to figure it out by the bottle date and what method the bottle was manufactured to date it. Appreciate any wisdom you can share.

It's an early machine-made bottle so that would place it around the 1910s or 1920s.

That's the goal. Trying to get as much info on it as I can. Want to sell it for what it's genuinely worth. Not looking to fool someone and charge too much but likewise not looking to sell for much less than it's worth.

Liqueur whiskey.

I guess back then the whiskey came from the large distillery such as Jameson in this case and was distributed around the country in barrels by train and donkey! The whiskey was then bottled in various botttling distributers that sold the product at local levels.

what part of that tells you it’s from the 10s or 20s? I would have assumed 1943
