This very attractive, Bourbon Whiskey Back Bar Bottle features incised / cut lettering with gold gilt paint that reads "Brunswick Bourbon".
Brunswick Bourbon Whiskey was distilled by the Lyndale Distillery of Louisville, Kentucky. It may also have been previously distilled by another Kentucky Distillery for a Cincinnati, Ohio Liquor Distributor. The use of glass bottles for storing whiskey was impractical and generally too expensive in the 1800’s due to the hand glass blowing methods. In 1903, the automatic bottle-making machine was invented which made selling whiskey in bottles financially feasible. Before that time whiskey was sold directly out of wooden barrels in saloons. Some saloons transferred small quantities of whiskey from the barrels to glass Back Bar Bottles imprinted with the whiskey’s name. The Lyndale Distillery Distillery followed in this tradition by supplying saloons with their own decanters like the one offered here.
This rare and wonderful, Back Bar Bottle is in excellent condition. The Bottle is very well preserved with no physical damage to the glass - no chips, no cracks, no wear and no damage or repairs of any kind. The glass is clear and clean with no clouding / white residue on the interior surface of the Bottle. The gold gilt that is applied to the incised / cut lettering is exceptionally well preserved and overall the Bottle is exceptionally well preserved and displays beautifully.
The Bottle is unconditionally guaranteed to be original and of the period - ca1890's.
A very rare and original, 1890's "Brunswick Bourbon" paneled and gold gilt lettered, Back Bar / Saloon Whiskey Bottle / Decanter and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!

Important Notes about Shipping Charges:
The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a .00 "packing fee" - the .00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the .00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
