      There should be a date on the tax stamp.

      It's from the prohibition era... hence the "medicinal use" label. Had to be prescribed by a doctor in those days... unless you had some shady friends!

      Dizzy Dave's link (http://www.ellenjaye.com/mountvernon.htm) confirms the date since the box says "American Medicinal Spirits Co."

      This is a cool post. Too bad the person never came back to see all the comments left that answer their questions.
