Welcome to the Blue pages, and thanks for bringing the whiskey. How'd you come upon it? Looks like some nice embossing.

found it digging in an old trash pit

I have always liked that bottle , I have two of them , one like yours, the other one being the same except that it has a metal covering from the shoulder to the bottom , with the same inscriptions on the metal as on the bottle its self . I think it has some silver content to it . I would date it late 1890s to 1910 guessing . I think the one with the metal around it might have been a bar bottle, again , guessing . If it is where I can put my hands on it , I will try and take a pic of it and post it tomorrow .

Welcome Starr, 1910 give or take 10 yrs sounds good. The ebay above looks like it may be artificially colored. Nice graphics! The pit sounds good to go back to, nice age to it.
