Queen Anne Scotch One Gallon Bottle

[Woodham]

Hey, I was digging around in some barns on my property and found this obscenely large Queen Anne's Scotch bottle.

I tried to get a good sense of the size of it, it's clearly marked 1 gallon. The bottle is corked, but empty, and a small whole has been drilled in the back. I was wondering if anyone had any information about which decade it came from or even its use. The size makes it look somewhat like a display bottle, but I have not been able to find one its size online.

Thanks for the help!

I'm kicking myself for not taking a picture of the hole as the bottle is now about an hour away with my mother. The hole is a bit thinner than a bic pen, though the cork does not look like it has been removed.

And thanks for the welcome!

Hey Will,

Welcome to the Blue Pages, and thanks for bringing this lamp in progress big whisky.

It's post Prohibition, indicated by the "Federal Law Forbids..." language embossed on the shoulder. Someone was gonna make a lamp outta that somewhere back a bit. Makes me think closer to early Sixties for a date. Is there any additional embossing on the base?

The bottle guys always wanna see the base.

more than likely was a liquor store display bottle from back in the 60's-70's that someone tried to make a lamp out of.
