There was no Jack Daniels at the time of the American Revolution... but if there was who knows how long the war would have taken! This Jack Daniels bottle was cut lengthwise and engraved with the Join or Die flag from the American Revolutionary War. It was one of a number flags and symbols that our Founding Fathers rallied around in our fight for independence and freedom. It would make a great eco-friendly ashtray for those cigar smoking patriots....or who knows what other uses a Patriot could find for this dish?
