Old Whisky Bottle from Washington, DC

[cockybrock]

This is my first post of many I'm sure.

I recently came across an old bottle collection from a friend and I've been asked to find some sort of value to the bottles within the collection.

I was hoping someone could give me some background and a possible value to this bottle.

On the bottle it reads:

EDWARD J. QUINN
604 PENNA. AVE OPP. PENNA. R.R. DEPOT
WASHINGTON, D.C.
MY SPECIALTY
Ononoco, Rye Whiskey

I've also uploaded a picture.

Thanks in advance.

Hello cockybrock and Welcome to Antique-Bottles.Net ---
My DC bottle book from 1995 lists this variation at $20-25. It is listing #186 in the book. We'd love to see what else you've got, so post the interesting ones.

You want interesting??

Here's one that I have no idea about.

It's an old beer bottle.

It says "Continental Brewg Co" across the top and "Philadephia" on the bottom.

Then it has a picture of a continental soldier on it with a house to his right and a wagonwheel to his left.

I've included a picture. The research I've done suggests the Continental Brewing Co. was a pre-prohibition brewer that closed done during prohibition and never reopened.

Hi Donald (Don ?) Welcome to the Forum, I'm looking forward to some of your other finds - that's one nice looking beer bottle![] I did a search and didn't come up with any more than you did. But you came to the right place, if there's any info available someone here on the forum will come up with it.[]
