c. 1914 J.J. Melchers Case Gin Bottle With Label You are looking at a very rare find, it is a vintage J.J. Melcher's "Oliphant" black glass case gin bottle, circa 1914. This bottle still retains it's original paper label, which is a very rare find as these labels seldom survive the tests of time. This is a true gem of a bottle that is in exceptional condition for it's age. A bottle of this quality does not appear very often, especially with the label still firmly attached. The paper label itself is a piece of art and a wonder to behold in hand as it's black ink is still quite bold. The white background of the label has lightly tanned over the years which adds a distinctiveness to the overall beauty of the bottle. The rich, dark green glass has a high gloss and a wonderful lustre to it. Look at the bubbling present in the glass. The Oliphant label is beautiful with only a very small portion missing. This is the more desirable larger sized 10 3/4" case gin bottle. The shoulders are 3 3/8" with the chamffered corner base at 2 5/8". Other than the tiny piece missing from the label, I can find NOTHING wrong with the bottle. Other than that, it looks amazingly like new. T are no chips, cracks or any other types of defects or damage. This is truly a rare bottle that would worthy of adding your case gin or black glass collection. Please
