This is a pre-Prohibition tiny pocket Eggs Brandy from International Liquor Company of Chicago that I got off e-Bay not long ago.
I can find nothing on that company or the names listed at the bottom, whose trade-marks are on this Eggs Brandy bottle. Names: F. Wagner & Ch. Sack of Th?????? (Illinois?). It's too tiny of print to read smudged.
The address, 1433 Wells Street, Chicago, was a boiler place from at least 1917 into Prohibition.
Therefore, it dates prior to 1917.
Interesting features:
Austrian eagle with German shield
As is common on newer tooled tops, the seam is more moved than obliterated
Purple background
Tiny! (Compared to U.S,-penny sized Austrian Heller and regular Whiskeys.)
No one knows about Charles Sack?
Nothing more then google says born in 1825 in Braunschweig, Germany
Great item, Looks like ir turned to crystals in the bottle (what a waste lol)
it* guess i should turn on a light/
Could be one of many, several shown here

I was always hoping to find out on Sack, as it's a less common name than Wagner, especially since another Wagner had a major brewery in Chicago. As such, I cut him off as a lead. The company itself and the brand pulled 0 leads (albeit some people mix brandy and eggs!!!!), and the rest is illegible.
I have a nice Art Noveau light burning my retinas. Who knew a 9-watt bulb with a shade and diffuser could be so bright!
But none from Illinois or a city in it that starts with Th.
Might get a better view and can play with the image if you scan it?
I'll dig a bit too. GL
as even a 9w bulb could blow up in ur hands LOL JK
The ink itself on the label is what is smeared.
Well, actually, a lamp I had overheated and caused a bulb to crack. :/
Thought I hit gold... NOPE lol it looked like too close of a match to be:

Side note:
Advocaat or advocatenborrel is a traditional Dutch alcoholic beverage made from eggs, sugar and brandy.[1] The rich and creamy drink has a smooth, custard-like flavor.
Seems they never existed
*Chuckles.* That's me.
Do you drink it?
YOU can, lol yeah I would try it, I rarely drink any alcohol but do have a egg nog at Christmas so add a little Brandy sure why not
Everyone I know drinks. All save for me. LOL.
Surely for the better, I quit (well 99.9%) after my drinking buddy died in the 80s we would sit in a bar any bar but most in rather bad parts of Detroit and have a shot from every bottle the had behind the bar left to right, NO idea how or why we survived that.
I don't miss drinking at all just the friends I buried because of it.
I'm sorry to hear that.
My partner likes to drink a lot. I'm trying to make him stop that.
Hum sorry not an easy thing to make someone do something they don't want to do, Hope he's happy when drinking a mean drunk can drag down any relationship.
Tried for years to get my sister in-law to stop she only did after she broke her neck spending the past year+ in a physical rehab center but not drinking.
Her kids found her Christmas morning 2015
Oh, he's not at all bad, trust me. He's wonderful, in fact. I met him when he was drunk, actually. LOL. If he hadn't been drunk, we'd likely not have talked, as I don't usually talk to strangers. LOL.
My mom's deceased husband died in a parking lot, drinking.
LOL didn't figure he would be all bad, happy 4 u we know how short life can be so enjoy it. ;D

I had noted in that one, that most of the clowns were in some form of turban.
Do you design buttons?
I also just started 2 posts, One with that poster (Free Afghanistan sign in with turban/Arabs) and one post with 2016 button designs.
Feel free to visit and even save the twitter account (add me if u want 2) however if you would delete my last (#20) post just so the rest of the world won't see it 4 ever.

It turned out pretty well.
I'll check out the posts, but I don't use any social media save for here, Antique Bottles (a forum), and Skype. Well, I have a blog too, but that's different. Used to use Google+, but I hate their new format, so I left it.
Post deleted. :)
