Rare Pirate Club High Grade Whiskey amber glass bottle, circa 1900s, measuring five inches tall with a decorative paper label on the front depicting a Pittsburg player in uniform with his sleeves rolled up and leaning on a bat. The label retains its exceptional design and detail and is largely intact, minus a small amount of paper loss along the left edge. The bottle's original cork is included. A scarce and very unusual piece of early twentieth-century baseball memorabilia from the days when baseball and hard liquor were very closely linked.
