This dark amber glass bottle dates to 1953, produced during the final years before extensive federal regulation reshaped American liquor bottling. Its rich amber tone and rounded silhouette are characteristic of mid-century whiskey packaging.
A large circular emblem is embossed on the front, alongside the Federal Law warning text required on liquor bottles of the era. The dark amber glass has a deep, saturated tone that catches warm light beautifully.
Condition shows regular wear with a few larger scratches and light minor scratching across the surface, consistent with decades of handling. No chips or cracks. This is authentic age-appropriate wear, not damage.
Dimensions: 9" H × 4" W | Dark amber glass | Good condition | Circular emblem and Federal Law embossing
This bottle anchors a bar cart beautifully and reads equally well in a Neo Deco or Dark Academia display. Its deep amber tone pairs naturally with brass accents and other mid-century barware.
Recovered from New York City's historic shorelines and landfill sites by Brooklyn Sea Glass. Ships carefully packed.
