Best Of The West Live Auction (November 13, 2026 5:30 PM PT)

Circa 1881–1886, applied top, fifth. This is the "One Name Bear" variant, made after Fenkhausen & Braunschweiger dissolved their partnership in 1881. These fifths have long been popular with collectors due to the embossed walking bear and the Pioneer Whiskey name, both of which immediately bring to mind California's frontier past. One of the more recognizable pictorial whiskey bottles from the American West. These bottles are very difficult to find with a strong strike.

Description & Condition: Honey amber, very strong strike. A top example.

Min. Bid $750 - Est. $1,500–$3,000
