Seagram's Canadian Whisky

[zarabo]

Hi there,

Not sure where to start but my dad found this old empty Seagram's Canadian Whisky bottle. All I can see from the label is "Seagram's Canadian Whisky". At the bottom of the bottle, it says "160P". The cap is a cork.

Any idea how old it is, or where I can find more info?

Thanks.

Welcome.
Does your bottle have raised writing..."Federal law Forbids...", if so it is very datable.
It looks a little newer, maybe circa late 1960's? Maybe there is more where that came from?
Turns out my Grandfather in-law REALLY liked his Seagrams. Here is one I am trying to find a picture of when it was new. Has anyone seen this bottle anywhere? I only have one of these.

Looking again... You said it is a cork, maybe it was during prohibition times! I'll try to find out when Seagrams started. I have a few that have a P-160. I still learning too.
Good Luck.

hey zarabo that bottle looks like 1900s to me, does the mold seam go all the way to the lip or does it stop near the top mike

 

[zarabo]

I can see the seam on both sides on the bottle but they stop at the shoulder. No seam on the neck or lip.
Also, the cap is a cork with a glass top.
No other engraved writing except the "160P".

Thanks.

Hey Rockfish, yes I've seen that bottle [8|]. In fact, I dug one up myself just like it as well as three of it's younger brothers [sm=rolleyes.gif]. Here are a couple of photo's. The one I have like your's is marked on the bottom with a owens Ill. (I think it's Jan. 8th, 1957) as you can see. Have you checked your post's about the houses in "What is it before 1900". I left some information and qyestins there for you...

The same as your's...
