How much do you think it is worth? It belonged to his grandfather.

Bakrow in Louisville. Neither man trademarked the name, however, so both would be free to use it.Jack Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01499431800088809848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657913448535983609.post-32821931589591712852017-02-07T09:49:15.115-08:002017-02-07T09:49:15.115-08:00My husband has a pre-machine (clear) bottle in gre...My husband has a pre-machine (clear) bottle in great shape with an old label on it that reads "Matured By Age/Osceola-a<br />Rye / then an Indian picture here (slashes indicates line changes)/This whiskey is distilled in the old/fashioned way expressly for me,and/after being thoroughly ripened by/age is bottled under my personal/supervision./PHIL.G.KELLY/SOLE PROPRIETOR/ RICHMOND,VA. The paper label is an orangish brown, with a black outline along the edges. Has anyone heard of this rye produced by Mr. Kelly? I found a few others in a 1903 Wine and Spirits Bulletin, but they were by Chas.

Some people actually collect the spelling and other errors made on whiskey jugs. Most of the folks making these items did not have a lot of education and mistakes occurred. Kelly himself remains something of an enigma, seemingly not showing up in census data or elsewhere.
