Please help identify Federal Law Forbids bottle with tree design
Hello. I’m attaching a few pics of a bottle if you can help me identify. I have a 8” tall, 5-1/2”wide, 2” thick clear glass bottle with 5 ribs on each side. One side has a raised clear leafy tree with an oval circle under it (for Im assuming the maker/brand label). The other side also has a raised clear leafy tree, but a little shorter with embossed “FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS SALE OR RE-USE OF THIS BOTTLE”. The Trees are similar looking but are different and not from the same mold On the bottom there is an anchor symbol (similar) between the 67 ⚓️ 51. D-9 above the anchor and a 5 below the anchor. The base is 3-5/8”x2” with the above mentioned. If I’m correct, the year is 1951 and the bottler is 67.
Can anyone else give me any information and value? Thanks, jeff

I am darn impressed that you were able to add that anchor graphic right into the text :-) That is the manufacturer mark for Anchor Hocking
The D-9 embossing is the clue to identification. It is the Federal Distiller # assigned to a specific company. I have associated D-9 with several brands - by way of finding labeled examples. Those brands include Schenley's Old Quaker Whiskey and Golden Wedding whiskey and Ancient Age whiskey
