I feel these are made in the USA. In 1884 Edward R Emerson of New York had a patent on the bread loaf form. He was a New York Wine merchant as I recall. There is an interesting and informative article about the bread loaf demijohns over at the Peachridge Glass website. Read: “Loaf of Bread” Demijohns – Dale Santos

JacksonCabinet

I have collected whiskies since 1978 so the seals are not new. I purchased some great items from Dale Murschell when he was selling off his collection after he wrote the seal book. Ebay & Facebook have really helped with purchases and exposure. The shots, bottles and jugs number near 1,000 and I’m designing the backlite cases for my bottle room. I have been dusting off and trying to cataloge the stuff. Man what a job! David Jackson (Read: David Jackson and his Applied Seal Bottles)
