Product Details

This is an antique embossed glass bottle from Lo. Lowenstein & Co for Old Harvest Corn Whiskey from Cincinnati, Ohio. This is an authentic late 19th-century (circa 1880–1890s) pre-Prohibition whiskey flask. Dr. Julius Lowenstein arrived in Statesville, NC in 1884. A German immigrant, Lowenstein was a dentist by trade but soon found distilling whiskey much more profitable. His Old Harvest Corn Whiskey became very popular.While the company was primarily headquartered in Statesville, North Carolina (then considered a massive regional hub for spirits), they also operated a rectification and distribution branch out of Cincinnati, Ohio, which is exactly where this specific variant was blown and distributed. The bottle glows a nice green under a 365 blacklight. There are bubbles in the glass from the blowing of hot glass into a colder mold and some clouding or "sickening" from reaction with minerals in the ground or from prolonged exposure to moisture.
