Vintage Zuckmantel Kaffee Liqueur Bottle in Tin Lantern Holder

Here is a charming bit of Central European liqueur-making history: a coffee (Kaffee) liqueur from the Rudolf Friedl firm of Zuckmantel in Silesia, presented in its own tin lantern carrier with a wire bail handle. Novelty packaging like this was meant to catch the eye on a shelf, and today it appeals to collectors of vintage bar ware, liquor advertising and quirky European breweriana. It would look great on a bar cart, a kitchen shelf or a cabinet of curiosities.

Details

• The green glass bottle carries its printed paper label reading Rudolf Friedl, Zuckmantel and KAFFEE, and a paper neck band marked with an RZF monogram.
• The black painted tin lantern frame has open X-wire bracing, a hinged lid with a hook latch, a rear strap handle and a wire bail handle, and the bottle neck passes through the lid.
• The bottle and lantern are sold together as found.
• Total weight is about 2.4 lb.
• Offered as a collectible display piece.

Condition: Used, with age wear. The black paint is flaking, with white and silver spots and pinholes. There is a crude solder-like repair at the lid hinge. The main label has a small tear at the upper right, and the foil capsule at the neck is torn, with the paper RZF band still in place. No cracks seen in the glass. Please see the photos.

The photos are part of the description, and it will be packed with care.
