Is the 10” clear round embossed big lip bottle with whole readable label around neck of bottle and partial label on body of bottle. Label has in right bottom date of June 30,1906. Bottle has no markings on bottom of bottle and seam up side but can’t tell if it goes all the way up neck of bottle. Has the embossed writing on bottle, There are no cracks or chips. Found in grandparents basement grandfather was an alcoholic. Didn’t clean it want sure on how to. Thanks for any information or advice! Pictures are attached

Thanks for posting. If there is any chance the missing piece of the main label is still in the basement, find it! It is a nice find nonetheless but the value hurts for lack of the full label. On the plus side, your bottle is embossed to match the label of the pre-Prohibition ("prepro") whiskey bottle.

I also like that the label is marked with the Pure Food and Drug Act suggesting the contents are for medicinal purposes only :-)

Here is a link to all the historical research on this company:

So we know the bottle is definitely pre-1918

value $20-30 is a rough estimate
