Authentic 1952 amber glass spirits bottle in the Velvet Edge Dimple form. Dated by base stamp. Federal Law embossing confirms 1935-1964 production. Exceptional embossing definition throughout.

The Velvet Edge Dimple Bottle is one of the most distinctive forms in mid-century American spirits packaging - the two concave dimples pressed into the front face are functional design, meant to give the hand a grip, but they're also beautiful. Smooth as Velvet embossed on the front isn't just a tagline. The 52 stamp on the base confirms 1952 production.

Authentic 1952 amber glass spirits bottle in the Velvet Edge Dimple form - that unmistakable figure-8 silhouette with two circular concave impressions pressed into the front face. The embossing tells the full story: VELVET EDGE, DIMPLE BOTTLE, Smooth as Velvet on the front; FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS SALE OR RE-USE OF THIS BOTTLE and VE on the back. The federal law text confirms US production between 1935 and 1964; the 52 stamp narrows it to 1952 specifically.

Deep amber glass with exceptional embossing definition throughout. No chips or cracks.

Hand-recovered from historic NYC dumping grounds, where mid-century glass treasures have rested for decades.
