[align=left]I found this bottle a few years ago and have never been able to find another like it on the web. I was surprised, as, I do not think it is all that old and it seemed like it might be something collectible since the design is so engaging. It features (I believe) Atlas holding up the world on all four sides; two sides are flattened and I assume that is where paper labels would have gone. It is embossed with Wilson "That's All" on two sides, and the message "Federal Law Prohibits Sale or Re-Use of this Bottle" at the top. Measures about 10 1/4" tall. Found with a cork in the top. Bottom shown shows an embossed R 639 and a 12 and a 6 on either side of an inverted triangle with the letters WT inside.

Can anyone help me identify the origins of this bottle, in which time period it was produced and does it have value to collectors?

I will attach one photo here and attach another in a second posting...

Welcome! It's a whiskey bottle from the 1930's - 40's. You should have no problem getting $20 for it from an art deco bottle lover.. I brought one of those home from a dump last spring, there's a thread all about this bottle around here somewhere..
