I was in Lancaster, PA a couple weekends ago and browsing through some antique shops and came across this bottle in a window.
THE OLD NICK WHISKEY CO
LOCK BOX No 26
WILLIAMS, N.C.
ESTABLISHED 1768
I have never heard of Williams, NC and I used my phone to google the town. I doubt if I would have thought of doing that but I think I got the idea in my head after watching too much American Pickers, Storage Wars, and similar shows where they google the name or town of the item they are thinking about buying. Google came up with virtually nothing for Williams, NC so I thought this might be something good. I couldn't pass it up.
The bottle is tooled top probably from late 1890s into to the turn of the century, clear, and a little cloudy.
It looks be a mail order whiskey and a competitor to Casper's whiskey.
Any ideas of the rarity, history, or info would be greatly appreciated.
I'm bringing to the Baltimore show and I'm sure it will generate a lot of interest among the North Carolina or whiskey collectors.
Thanks, Peter
