I almost tossed this because it looked like typical park trash. The OLD QUAKER brand has a history that goes way to the late 1800's and survived prohibition as late as 1958. When the brand was dropped is unknown to me. I am guessing this was lost in the late 50's to early 60's. here's and old ad for the liquor.

I found this bottle a few years ago and I liked it its from about 1950 or so, your cap is probably same era.
Nice little recovery, I'm glad to see you didn't toss it. :icon_thumleft:

I haven't found too many intact bottles, but that is one that I did. I found the exact same bottle with cap and still had what I think might have been some rye still in it. Anybody game?
