Good eye Shoeless Moe- this is 100% fake, since whiskey was only bottled & sold under that name beginning in 1896. Given that the card looks circa 1910, why would it read "the whiskey your grandfather used" if said whiskey was at the time only 14 or so years old?

The ad is also completely out of character for this company- most of their ads featured dogs and or hunting scenes and much higher quality artwork.

These scammers make me sick.

one just like it sold in Legendary. This looks to be a cheap copy, made to look old, without the schedule back.
