One of a kind Texas whiskey bottle

[wantedtxwhiskeys]

Here is my prized Texas whiskey bottle!! It's a half pint strapsided flask that reads:

A.F. HORNBACK
WHITESBORO, TEX
T.J. MONARCH WHISKEY
SPECIALTY
and a embossed anchor on the back of flask!!

A.F. HORNBACK is listed in 1882 & 1884 in the Texas Gazetteer!

Cool Flask, Can we get a pic of the back side with the anchor ?

Great flask, I've never seen the Anchors embossed on the reverse. Very nice, thanks for sharing

What a bottle. I'll bet you're proud of that baby. I guess it should be assigned a McKearin number with that anchor, GXIII-?

Killer! Whitesboro bottles are very rare for any type. Much less a whiskey. Did you get it from one of our old time collectors? Or come across it by chance?

Thanks guys for the comments! It's never been in a collection except now. This bottle has everything going for it mint condition, age, color, anchor and rare Texas town.

I would put it in the top five for sure of known texas whiskeys. Damn fine bottle sir!

Brad,
Thanks ! What are the other four Texas whiskeys? I know of the Neff & Duff Iron Front but don't know of the others.
