Know nothing about bottles, but it looks cool.

Maybe you should post this in the "Bottles" topic and see what someone can tell ya about it.

1920's prohibition bottle. Label is in super shape!

Didn't think you could distribute whiskey during prohibition Must be why it's for "medicinal purposes."

Anyone ever heard of the company?
Would this have value?

 

[iamwood]

do the numbers on the bottom of the bottle mean anything?
They are:

1097

This seems to be an unregistered brand but DG maybe you can find more on this site or just keep it for reference.

Have several with a prescription label on them from prohibition era. That is the way they got around the ban.Seems to have been a big industry even then.

That's not how they got around the bands in the mountains of north Georgia!
