There are plenty of places here to find out about Old Taylor. Go to the Library forum and read "An Interesting Haul" which is about the Taylor-Hay family papers at the Filson Historical Society. You can also go to the Bourbon Lore section and look at the Beam/National Distillers time line.
Every bottle has E H Taylor, Jr.s signature on the label. Since he died in the early 1920's and your bottle was not produced until after prohibition, I feel safe in saying that it is not his true signature. If you are looking for a value of the bottle - It is worth whatever someone will give you, probably between $50.00 and $100.00 dollars.
