I recently purchased this full bottle of bourbon, and I am wondering if anyone has any information about it. The label says simply "Barrister Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Bottled & Guaranteed by The Eddy & Fisher Co., Providence, R.I., Contents 1 Quart" (see photos). The only apparent marking on the glass itself is a "B" on the bottom of the bottle, and it is sealed with a driven cork and lead capsule. The person that I purchased it from indicated that the bottle was discovered beneath a staircase with a fair amount of soot/dust on it, and indicated that it was likely stashed away prior to or during Prohibition. The only information I could find online regarding Eddy & Fisher (from pre-pro.com) was that they were listed in a directory from 1911 under "Liquors, Wholesale", and located at 29-31 Pine Street. I also found some documentation relating to a trademark infringment dispute between Gordon's Dry Gin and Eddy & Fisher, regarding the latter's use of a boar's head on their bottles. Any further information about this bottle would be greatly appreciated!
