This 1/10 pint whiskey bottle was produced at the famed Broad Ford Distillery in Pennsylvania, one of the most historically important rye whiskey sites in America.

Old Overholt, founded in 1810, is:

• One of the oldest continuously produced whiskey brands in the United States

• Older than Jack Daniel’s or Jim Beam

• A benchmark for Pennsylvania rye

By the late 1930s, Old Overholt had become a flagship brand under National Distillers, emphasizing quality, age statements, and federal oversight through the Bottled-in-Bond Act.

This bottle carries an original Montana Liquor Control Board seal, which confirms:

✔ Legal post-Prohibition distribution
✔ Sale through a state-controlled liquor system
✔ Final destination: Montana
✔ A narrower distribution region than most U.S. states
✔ Increased collector rarity

Montana was a control state, meaning all alcohol passed through state warehouses and stores. Bottles bearing these seals are scarcer than standard retail examples and are especially desirable to collectors of western U.S. whiskey ephemera.

Based on:

• Tax stamp style

• Bottled-in-Bond labeling

• National Distillers ownership

• Montana control seal design

• 64-month age statement

📌 This bottle dates to approximately 1937–1939

Squarely within the early post-Prohibition revival of American whiskey.

• Bottle: Excellent, no chips or cracks

• Labels: Original, legible, nicely aged

• Tax seal: Intact

• Contents: EMPTY (natural evaporation over decades)

• Closure: Original paper seal remains

Evaporation is common and expected in whiskey bottles of this age and confirms authenticity rather than detracting from it.

When this bottle was sold:

• Franklin D. Roosevelt was president

• America was emerging from the Great Depression

• Whiskey had only recently become legal again

• Liquor was tightly regulated and carefully purchased

• Bottles like this were often kept for special occasions

This was not novelty packaging — it was a serious, government-regulated whiskey meant to restore public confidence after Prohibition.
