Although I am not a whiskey enthusiast, I recently acquired an unopened bottle of Frankfort Distilleries Antique Straight Rye Whiskey 100 proof. The bottle is still in a what appears to be a tin and cardboard container that is stamped on top "Sealed for Safety, Registered U.S. Patent Office, No 1732059, Oct. 15, 1929, Frankfort Distilleries Incorporated, Louisville, Ky. - Baltimore, Md." The back of the container has a cardboard pullout that allows yu to view the stamp on the bottle inside. The stamp indicates it was made in Spring 1930 and bottled in Spring 1936. On the front of the container it indicates it was bottled at the Baltimore facility. I would appreciate any information as to the rarity and value of this find. Will be glad to send pictures upon request.
