I am selling an antique scotch whiskey bottle with strong Boston, MA connections. I found the bottle stuffed between wooden studs in my house when I was renovating a bathroom. I can only conclude it was stashed in the walls by one of the original construction workers while on the job of building the house. Lots of great history about the original distillery in Scotland and the importing company P.T. Connors of Boston. What follows is a AI generated summary of the item.
The bottle is a clear glass flask, likely dating from circa 1895–1915, and features both embossed branding and a near-perfect original label.
