Old Whiskey Bottle

[sosa961]

Dug this out of an old trash pile at a farm in SC. Near an old homesite that is late 1800's/early 1900's.

It says "J.T.S. Brown and Sons Distillers Louisville, KY"

Would this bottle be from around that timeframe? I've found a little info on JTS Brown and Sons, but no similar bottles.

Thanks!

Yes I think it would fit right in that time frame. Looks like a mouth blown bottle from here.

Thanks guys. I hate to admit, but I think I chipped off the top. Don't find glass very often, so was digging rougher than I should have.

It happens to all diggers, be happy you didn't do it to a $5,000 bottle...

Would be nice to find a labeled example...
