A heavy crystal bottle with an elaborate metal overlay that was once used to dispense "Montezuma" brand whiskey, from James Maguire of Philadelphia, PA.

The bottle stands 11-3/8" tall, 3-5/8" in diameter, and is encased in a soft metal cage with a vine-and-flower design. A plaque at front contains hammered and engraved text that reads:
MONTEZUMA / RYE WHISKEY / James Maguire / 470 & 472 N 3RD ST. / PHILA.

The bottle would have sat on the back-bar of saloon and hotel bars and would have been filled from a barrel supplied by the wholesaler.
