Before those little airplane bottles
Author: njmidland

Found this bottle in an estate sale a while ago. I wonder if this was common to have liquor bottles marked for a railroad?

Don't know about the liquor but I have seen small Tabasco bottles labeled for railroads.

A long time ago before little bags with 3 peanuts etc., I believe that the little airline bottles of booze were labeled for the airline serving them. I used to have a collection of them but I think it got dumped when we moved here 13 years ago.

There was a Nickel Plate Beer brewed by the Centlivre Brewing Company in Fort Wayne, IN.

Fred Harvey sold booze and wine in their gift shops in the larger stations and had it in their holiday gift catalogs.
