Old bottle of Johnnie Walker Red Label

[ChristieVal]

Hello all,

While visiting my grandfather yesterday he brought out an old bottle of Johnnie Walker Red that was given to him by a friend after their great grandfather passed away. The story is that the bottle was given to him when he was promoted while working at General Motors, but we have no clue when this happened. The bottle is very interesting, has a screw top? possibly, a taped label over the top that has the words GingerAle and some numbers, and a rope tie around it. It has an award label at the bottom as well. My grandfather would really like to find out when this bottle is from. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

*I have pictures but no clue how to post them on here!

Your bottle of Johnnie Walker Red Label has been dated based on the pack design from the 1930s. Canada Dry Ginger was the importer for Johnnie Walker in the USA at that time.
