Antique Saloon Whiskey Bottle

An antique saloon whiskey bottle found in Kentucky that would make a unique flower vase, men’s gift or decorative piece for a home bar. The Mellwood Distilling Company was first established in 1865 by George Swearingen in Louisville, Kentucky. Swearingen intended to name it “Millwood” after the old farm he ran, but when he ordered his brand, its name was misspelled as “Mellwood.” Swearingen kept the name anyway.

• Hand blown glass with slightly crooked bottleneck and cork stopper

• The bottle has oxidized to a slight purple tint

• Simple handpainted label reads “Mellwood” and is indicative of bottles produced in the 1890s to early 1900s as saloon bar back bottles

• Approximately 12” high x 3.5” diameter

Available for pick up, local delivery, and nationwide shipping.
