BR John Walker Black Label Scotch Bottle

[Jedirick]

I believe Nick has looked for this bottle. Gary W. did research as well. After a couple years of searches, I refuse to look at anymore ebay auctions for this bottle.

I just pulled the label off a listerine bottle and have been Googling Black label images to see what I can find.

Anyone else pursued this mystical bottle?

Of couse...it is the most elusive of BR props at this point. I believe Gary Willoughby has talked to the prop handler about it and has said little about them. They were most likely rented from a prop house in Hollywood or at least ended up in one. I would say the best way to find them is hit the numerous prop houses in LA and and check their sale bins. More than one was made, but in some movie scenes they switch from a the "Listerine" style to a standard Johnny Walker bottle depending on camera angle in Deckard's apartment.

The Tsing Tao bottle shows up throughout the movie in large numbers and I believe it is a standard found item that I am pretty sure I have seen it in the real world. Still haven't found it yet though. I check thrift stores and antique stores all the time looking for these. I also look online using various search engines and search tecniques. I have even gone to books stores and the library in the past to look at bottle books. I need to do that again when if ever I have the time now that we have the bigger library in town. As good as the computer is, a library still can have it beat depending what you are looking for. A combination of all these search styles is the best though.

If the Johnny Walker bottle was only made custom in small amounts they may never be found. They look commercial to me though, but may be vintage because they do not have any screw top on them. They could be a Decanter of some kind, but do not have the wide mouth rim that a decanter usually has.

I haven't given up yet.

Shortly after being struck with the realization that this is not just any old bottle, I explored decanters hard.

Found some cool ones, but not a Scotch Bottle amongst them.

I found some Swedish handblown hourglass decanters in a shop near my home. Have never seen any since anywhere. I bought them all. The glass is blown insuch a manner that not only does liquor fill the hourglass shape but the four stems as well.
