This is a pair of antique 1930s Marshfield Straight Whiskey labels, bottled by the American Liquor Company of Boston, Massachusetts. A big gold spread-winged eagle perches on a blue \"90 PROOF\" ribbon across a red shield, MARSHFIELD arches over the top in tall brown letters edged in gold, and a gold ALCo seal hangs on a blue ribbon rosette at the side, all inside a shiny gold border.

After Prohibition ended in December 1933, the federal government put distillers and rectifiers under numbered permits, and from late 1934 code numbers had to appear on liquor bottles and labels. R stood for Rectifier, the kind of house that blended, bottled and sold spirits under its own brands, and D for Distiller. So R-20 marks a post-Repeal bottler, which fits the 1930s just fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🦅 The American Liquor Company\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe American Liquor Company of Boston bottled more than one brand on labels just like these: Marshfield, American XXXX Straight Bourbon and Golden Days Straight Whiskey among them, and Marshfield came as a straight whiskey and a bourbon, in pints and in quarts. Those gold eagles and red shields were right in style for a country that had just gotten its whiskey back,. The company is long gone now, and so are most of its labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🏡 Display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs more vintage labels are lost to natural disasters and poor storage and the limited supply for sale is gone and on display with collectors or in galleries then they will be very difficult to acquire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagine this vintage advertising hanging on your wall as home decor in your room!
