Collecting Jack Daniel Memorabilia

Jack Daniel is a Tennessee whiskey distillery and brand known for its unique square bottles and black label, Old No.7 Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey. Their whiskey has stayed the same for more than 100 years and the company is based in Lynchburg, Tennessee.

Some of the really older Jack Daniel memorabilia consist of stoneware jugs stenciled "Jack Daniel Whiskey Lynchburg, Tenn." (c1865-1870). These jugs are about 15 inch high, glazed dark brown and sand and come in 1, 2 and 3 gallon capacity. Another type has a cream glaze, stenciled in dark blue on the jug "Jack Daniel Old Time Distillery Lynchburg, Tenn." (c1880-1885). A third type is glazed dark brown over cream and stenciled "Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Lynchburg, Tenn." (c1890-1895). Jack Daniel began using "Old No. 7" as a product name in 1887 and mystery still surrounds its origin.

Other Jack Daniel memorabilia include embossed and labeled glass whiskey bottles many of which have been reproduced by the company and made available to collectors. Old advertising printed in newspapers and magazines are very collectible. However, the early jugs, bottles and advertising are very hard to find.

If you love Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey and want to turn your game room into a unique show place then decorate it with reproduction Jack Daniel Memorabilia. All Jack Daniel merchandise has the official Jack Daniel logo. Each piece is finely crafted and of high quality.

What type of Jack Daniel reproduction memorabilia is available? Jack Daniel custom nostalgic mirrors are a perfect way to accessorize any room or office. These custom mirrors are offered in a variety of designs and sizes. Then you could then add a tournament style Jack Daniel game room dartboard. Other popular items include a pool table light, tin saloon signs, drinking glasses and shot glasses. You can even dress the part with clothing such as t-shirts, belt buckles, sunglasses and hats. Don’t forget their famous southern barbecue sauce.

Reproduction items can be found on the Jack Daniel web site. But why pay full retail when you can get new and used reproduction items on eBay at great auction prices.
