This 1/10 pint whiskey bottle was produced at the famed Broad Ford Distillery in Pennsylvania, one of the most historically important rye whiskey sites in America.
Old Overholt, founded in 1810, is:
One of the oldest continuously produced whiskey brands in the United States
Older than Jack Daniel’s or Jim Beam
A benchmark for Pennsylvania rye
By the late 1930s, Old Overholt had become a flagship brand under National Distillers, emphasizing quality, age statements, and federal oversight through the Bottled-in-Bond Act.
Why the Montana Seal MattersThis bottle carries an original Montana Liquor Control Board seal, which confirms:
✔ Legal post-Prohibition distribution
✔ Sale through a state-controlled liquor system
✔ Final destination: Montana
✔ A narrower distribution region than most U.S. states
✔ Increased collector rarity
Montana was a control state, meaning all alcohol passed through state warehouses and stores. Bottles bearing these seals are scarcer than standard retail examples and are especially desirable to collectors of western U.S. whiskey ephemera.

Tax stamp style
Bottled-in-Bond labeling
