Need help!

Can anyone help me identify this bottle? Was it a standard brand name, or one of those that could be personalized with a new slug plate? It is strap-sided with metal screw-in cap, and blown in the mold with hand finished lip. Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Here's a little info on Larry's Whiskey. Larry (or Larry's) Whiskey. Another brand of rye. Incidentally, rye whiskey was almost unheard of prior to the turn of the century but the fad really caught on around 1910. It must have fallen back into disfavor with the whiskey drinkers because I don't recall ever seeing it on the shelves these days. Larry was a brand of Wilmerding, Lowe & Co. and is a real late product in terms of their lines. It dates ca. 1912 - 1915 and must have not been a good seller since they never registered the brand and they are considered rare by tanker standards.



This one sports the strap sides correct embossed Kellogg Whiskey IT stopper and a simple, yet to the point label. Interesting is that the bottle is embossed Larry's and yet the label reads Larry~ Significance? Don't ask me...

Good! I like rare! Could you venture a guess as to value, although that's primarily not what interests me--I just like collecting unusual items. Thanks!

Not sure about the value. I would suggest contacting Western Whiskey Gazette@. www.westernwhiskeytooltopgazette.com
