... picked this up a few weeks back.
Aside from the obvious name does someone know what this might be from?

I believe there's a Cusenier catalog on www.oxygenee.com that has a picture of a similar bottle. Maybe for their cherry flavoured liqueur? It's pretty, in any case.
I once found a cusenier bottle for $3 at a Vermont flea market, and I thought for sure it was an old Oxygenée bottle, as it was shaped exactly like those bottles, but I asked Oxy and he noticed one small detail that indicated it was a later bottle for one of their cordials. They're still nice collectibles, even if they're not absinthe.

They used it for Crème de Menthe. This bottle is from 1913.

They are nice looking old cordial bottles, use it for a water carafe.

Here's another that I have that I've never heard of... um... because it was a bit before my time I guess...
It's called KIRSCH COCKTAIL.

I have no idea what it is or what it tasted like.
There's still about 1/4 liter in this bottle but...

Kirsch was one of the first liqueurs I stole from my parents cabinet. To this day, I still get nauseated smelling it.
UGH!
