RH Macy & Co Inc bottle

I found the below listed RH Macy &Co Inc bottle the other day on my farm and cannot find anything in my reference books about it. I'm looking at prices on eBay and all of the RH Macy bottles that are listed are small pop bottles in not great of shape for around 100$. Being that this is a huge bottle and in pristine condition I'm thinking its value is much greater. Any experts to give advice? Thanks!

your bottle is most likely a port wine , but than agene It may be a whisky of some sort . the bottle it self was made after 1933. but who made it is anybody's guess . oh buy the way Macy also had cosmetic and other bottles with his name on them.

I'd think $30-50 would be a fair price

Hey tj. cama,

I agree with sunrunner, it's a liquor bottle, probably port wine or whiskey like he said. It's machine-made, I'd say 1950s.

As far as value goes, although it's not a super duper old bottle, it has some attractive qualities: nice light olive colour, the 'federal law forbids' bit, and some nice fancy script lettering with a big city name on there. You might actually get $30-50 like epackage said, every collector is different and likes their own thing, and someone out there could be looking for mid-20th-century liquors. It's more likely than not, actually!
