    Early 1900s cylinder saloon back bar whiskey advertising bottle - height is just over 11 inches;  in white enamel lettering: KNOX CO. / CLUB;  the bottle has fancy pressed flutes on the shoulder along with vertical ribbing inside the glass;  about excellent condition - no chips, cracks, etc. - tiny bit of haze in the base; couple of minor flaws: the period after the word " Co. " is worn;  there is a tiny white bruise on the edge of a panel on the reverse side from the lettering; ( see all 4 photos );   bottle will display as perfect;  if you or I think this bottle is from somewhere in a KNOX CO., that's probably true;  but, there are only 9 states in the U.S. with a "Knox Co." - you can look them up;  I think this bottle is from Knox County, Illinois;  according to pre-pro.com, there was a company GALESBURG MANUFACTURING CO. DISTILLERS (1904 to 1907);  there is an etched pre-pro shot glass marked as such - see pre-pro.com;  plus this bottle was found across the river from Galesburg in Missouri.  Also, there is KNOX CO. in Tennessee;  there was lots of whiskey activity there;  according to pre-pro.com, there was even a company called KNOX CO. LIQUOR & WINE CO. in Knoxville but they showed up around 1891 - too early for this bottle.  This is a very heavy bottle - shipping weight is 3-4 pounds - any excess will be refunded.
    Shipping is by priority mail with USPS Tracking. Payment within 3 to 5 days, please. Thanks! Questions? - please ask.
