      Any Bottle embossed with "FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS..." is a liquor bottle made in the post prohibition years between 1932-1964. Your's is likely to have been made in 1956 by the marking on the bottom - Old Mr. Boston was a distillery located in Boston, Massachusetts from 1933 to 1986. It produced its own label of gin, bourbon, rum, and brandies, as well as a few cordials and liqueurs. Over time, through a series of changes of ownership, the words "Old" and "Mr." were dropped from the name until it was known simply as "Boston." The distillery was closed circa 1986 when the parent company, Glenmore Distillers, shut down operations and the brand vanished.
