The Flemings would have had lots of choice. My guess they maintained several sources to insure a supply of product for the brands they were blending.

They made a taller but thinner square bottle that I also have clear and cobalt blue versions of those. I would love to know if the cobalt blue bottles are valuable.

I have some postcards that picture them, the sample bottles sold for 15 cents at an industrial fair in San Francisco in 1895. I would like to send you images of the cards and the malt whiskey bottle, and also ask you a question about drugstore liquor during Prohibition.
