Hello Ariel,

Welcome to the Blue Pages, and thanks for showing us your whiskey bottle. The "Federal Law Forbids" language was used post-Prohibition to about 1964.

Was yours made by Anchor Hocking? There may be date codes on the base.

Here's one for sale:

at what seems, to me, a pretty ambitious price.

Another with a stopper:

From.

Hello, and thank you for the welcome!

That is awesome information!

I believe all the imprints on the bottom, match the same as the one in the link you sent.
Which is also neat.

Yes, on the bottom there is an anchor in the center.
Above the anchor, it says "D - 9"
to the left of the anchor, "13"
to the right of the anchor, "51"
and right below it there is a "4"

Wow, those photos are awesome, now I wish I could have found the stopper.
The stopper would have been the icing on the cake for sure!

Wonder if that stopper is original to the bottle? Looks out of place on it.

It does look abit odd, as if they added cork around the other part.
