Phil G. Kelly bottle

[ljsabo222]

Hello, I'm curious as to the value of this bottle found in my father's collectibles. I've researched a bit and believe this distillery was located in Richmond, VA from 1905-1913 before moving on to Baltimore. Not sure as to whether this version exists in abundance. It's in good condition, no cracks/chips, and is 7.25 inches tall. Thanks for any guidance.Laura

Hi Laura.It might be a rare version, it might not. I think rarity wouldn't make a lot of difference though if you wanted to try and sell it. It's not a high demand style IMO.Someone may have a collection that focuses on Kelly and if your lucky you'll find that person and get a better answer.

It looks good to me. There isn't any thing shown or mentioned about the bottom. Does the finish have vertical seams on it? We like to help, but we need more information. RED Matthews fFord ythe

Yes, obviously a newbie to bottle identification! There is an embossed 1 on the bottom of bottle (see pic). There are also vertical seams down 2 diagonal corners of the bottle. The seams end (or begin?) mid-neck of bottle. Thank you for taking the time to respond ~~Laura

IT LOOKS GOOD. I couldn't read the embossing good. I liked the heal tap corners of the bottom corners. You didn't answer the finish line question. RED Mathews

Do you still have this bottle. If so please let me know as I may be interested if you interested in letting it go. Thank you.
