1895 Jack Daniels
JoJo,
Thanks for that. I was of the understanding that from 1895-1904 JD didn't use paper labels. I thought that in 1904 they started with the green label?
Also, as you can see, this bottle doesn't have the circle around the No 7. This, from my research, indicated that it was the test bottle released in 1895 for a short period of time to guage the publics interest in the bottle design and shape. Therefore, this bottle would only have been in production for a limited time, say a few months or so.
Based on this information, the bottle could be the only one of its kind to have surfaced intact and fully sealed. I greatly appreciate your assistance with this. My desire is for this bottle to go to a serious collector who knows and appreciates the bottles rarity and historic value. Any further info would be greatly appreciated.
