Hi Everyone,
This is my first post on the forum. I recently bought a Patent cylinder whiskey bottle that seems to be an unusual size. When purchasing it I thought it was a pint. Once I got home and was looking it over it seemed a bit too large to be a pint. So I got out my measuring cup and proceeded to fill it. At 16 ounces it was filled to the halfway point of the shoulder, right about the level of the word patent. I poured in two more ounces and it was now filled to approximately halfway up the neck.
If you divide 128 ounces (one gallon) by 18 you get 7.111... Is it possible that this is a seventh? How many sizes were these produced in? I know of quarts and fifths. Are there pints as well?
By the way this bottle has no embossing on the base and is orange amber.
Thanks
