    Picked up this 6" tall 'pinch' bottle/flask at a rummage sale yesterday,it was snug in a pile of baby clothes !
    Anyway,it's either a souvenir bottle,whiskey bottle or both.I'm guessing somewhere between 1890 and 1910 (post-pontil era).
    I've never seen this brand before-any info about it ? Thanks All !

    Thanks Debora-that's awesome.The fellow called it a 'Bar Decanter' and mentioned those with a scene on them are desirable-and this one's color.
    I wouldn't have immediately pegged that drawing as a 'cave entrance'-I thought it was a lake !

    Possibly a good place to cellar whiskey?

    True,the cave's a natural liquor cellar.We were at my cousin's wedding down in N. California & being Cal in summer,it was 99 degrees.It was 1980 & we were all dressed Miami Vice/Disco but still hot !.
    It was a winery,so we'd nip into the wine cave to cool off- 55 degrees all year long.
    PS-Always look thru the baby clothes at a sale !
