Mackenzie & Stewart London Scotch Whiskey Labels w Dated 1914 Provenance Letter

Description

I obtained these labels about 20 years ago at an estate sale. They were in an envelope inside a piece of furniture that I had purchased. There are 7 labels in the collection and they are accompanied by a letter of introduction dated 18th April, 1914 and a mounted picture. I am not sure if the picture is from one of the principals at Mackenzie and Stewart, it was part of the package as I discovered it. The letter was sent to G.T. Foulis, Esq. who owned a hotel resort in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. I found some records to indicate that G.T. Foulis was a person of political and business historical significance in the Collingwood area at that time. Collingwood today remains an upscale resort destination in Ontario. The intent of the letter was to set up distribution of Scotch Whiskey from Mackenzie & Stewart from London England. This is just before prohibition in the USA which I believe started in 1920.
I believe the letter to be 100% authentic and the labels as well. Check my feedback, I have been selling on ebay since 1998. The letter is creased from being folded as are some of the labels. You can see the type of print and offset characters The condition is remarkable for being over 100 years old. I had the intent of having them properly mounted and framed but have decided to sell them instead. Rare to have a dated letter to back up the age of the labels. If you would like any additional pictures, please email me as I ran out of pictures in the listing.
These labels are one of a kind. I will ship to the continental USA for free. All others please email me for a cost.
