Hello everyone. I have an amber whiskey bottle embossed with Wall, Luhrs & Co. Sacramento. The story behind this bottle is that I got it from a man who found it out west in an old gold rush town. I am not sure if this is true or not but he said when the 1970s diggers came through they would break all the whiskeys they found except for a few to make them more rare. He also said there were tons of broken ones on the surface but he did find this whole one. It makes sense to do that to secure the value but personally I couldn’t do that to a nice bottle like this! Does any one have any information on this or a value?

Thanks, Tom

Yes, it does have inside threads. I never noticed it until now. Its going to stay in my collection but do you know the value of it?

Thanks, Tom
