Whiskey Spoofs

Nelson Ronsheim was a photographer in Cincinnati who wrote and designed gag bottles for Par Beverage from 1950's to 1970’s.  The bottles were sold exclusively at Stucky's restaurants as novelties.  Nelson’s photography work has appeared in galleries all across the U.S. in the late 30's and early 40's. Sadly these Spoofs contain no alcohol, just dyed sugar water.
