Wow, looks nice that's quite the collection. Looks like the same pottery responsible for most of them based on the script style. Any guess as to what kind of whisky most held and what kind of occasion they were sold?

I guess any kind of whiskey or wine was possible(some grocers sold oil in them), they were available at any time and probably preferred over the more fragile glass bottles of the time. Plus they came in sizes from 1/2 gallon to 5 gallon, for those times when you just had to have 5 gallons of hooch... LOL
