It measures 28 1/4' high x 9 1/4" diameter. Very rare, circa 40s-50s, not really sure. I've never seen another, have you?

Yes I have -- lots of different brands made these large bottles back in the day. Here is Canada we used to refer to them as * Texas Mickey * ( LOL as a Joke ). I had a couple of the Canadian Club Rye Whisky big bottles like this:

HERE is another one like yours on Ebay ( scroll down some) and it has the pump on it. There are lots of these around as people still have them and use them to put change in now:

....and Welcome to CW also !!
Well I'm sorry but you're mistaken. Those are all 1 gallon bottles, standing around 18" high. Whereas, mine is 28 1/4" high.
Also it's five(5) gallons.
Oh Sorry -- Guess I should have read the title better. My mistake.
What are the marks on the bottom then?
Hello antiquerose, I,m not sure as to what you're reffering to.
On the bottom of the bottle -- there should be marks on it? Some sort of marks on it -- can you post them here?
Look at the bottom of your bottle and take a pic something like this on an angle to show the marks on yours:

Ok it'll be tomorrow
It's almost 1 a.m. here
Goodnight
There are no marks
Well the owner did tell me his family got it from a bar to add to his collection. Any idea where I could find more information about this oddity?
I inherited two of these 5 gallon bottles, unopened and each with a tap. Each are 5 gallons (not 1 gallon) that have just been sitting around collecting dust since probably the late 70s/early80s. Is there any collector value to them or should I just open them up and enjoy?
Hello Fivegallon, I'm not a collector so I can't answer your question but a quick look shows it would probably be at least several hundred and probably more for someone who prefers that brand. I would be interested simply for the reason I have never seen a bottle that big until I saw this post. I'm actually in the market for some vintage Old Charter Bourbon.
I have a giant glass bootle which looks like 7 gallons. Seagrams Ancient bottle distilled Gry Gin Very decorative glass. Has to be 50 years old or more.
