Embossed Hayner Whiskey Distillery Back Bar Bottle.

 

Embossed Back Bar Hayner Whiskey Bottle.

This embossed Hayner Whiskey bottle was found on the Treasure Coast.  It is a pre-prohibition bottle, meaning that it dates to pre-1920.  It is just over eleven inches tall.   You can see a bubble in the glass below the R in TROY.

There was a paper label between "HAYNER WHISKEY" and "DISTILLARY"

The bottom provides a lot of information.

The glass maker marks on the bottom are also interesting.   The bottle has the patent date clearly written out as April 17 1877.

Patent Date On Durkee Bottle.

Eugene R. Durkee – making spices and extracts in his basement at home – at 1850, and we have seen an advertisement for the firm as early as 1851 – the year given by most sources. The early ad noted that E.R. Durkee (no “& Co.”) was a “Wholesale and Retail Dealer in Drugs, Medicines, Perfumery, Brushes, Fancy Articles, Glassware, Congress Water, Leeches, Cigars, Pure Wines, Liquors, Oils, Camphene, Burning Fluid &c.” in Buffalo, New York. The only products specifically linked to his name were Durkee’s Venetian Liquid Hair Dye, Durkee’s Vermifuge, and Durkee’s Baking Powder (Matt’s Collectibles 2014) (Figure 1). Durkee developed his salad dressing during this period, probably in 1857, and won awards for it (Kovel 2010; Museum of the City of New York 1999:71)...

I was fortunate to find a lot of information on Dr. Shoop. Here is one paragraph from a much larger article on Dr. Shoop.

Dr. Shoop opened a medical practice in 1883 and by 1890 established a line of cure - all patent medicines which were sold door to door by agents. Dr. Shoop’s Family Medicine Co. was incorporated June 30, 1891, (Capital, $20,000) with Shoop, Jackson I. Case and Charles A. Corbitt as officers. Unable to find suitably large quarters Shoop had plans drawn for a new plant. A lot was purchased and the first three stories of the Shoop Building were completed in 1893, with three additional stories added in 1899 making it the tallest commercial building in Racine.
