During the years 1980 and 1984 both the transistion and the ml size bottles where sold. I haven't found any Flasks with only the "ml" volumes" on it (that is with 90 % proof whiskey and paper seal). If someone has a sample please drop me a line.
200 ml Square bottles
Very rare is this 200 ml size bottle, almost imposible to find and very expensive (I payed $ 400.00 for this bottle back in 2003). This bottle is made around 1982. Try to find one...
375 ml Square bottle
This 375 ml version is a special one made for Japan. It has a Jack Daniel's Distillery seal instead of the normally used
Eagle paper seal. 
There is a little sticker on the side label with some Japanese writting on it. Also the cardboard box is very rare! It is in top condition with no tires or scratches.
A more standard size is this 500 ml bottle. This bottle was widely available in most liquor stores all over the US.

If we are talking about a bit of luck then this is for sure a "bit of luck" ... finding such a great Jack Daniels gift box in Mint condition with very unknown (and problebly very rare) shot glasses. Found them on Ebay and won the auction for a very resonable price. Below we see a gift box made specially for the Four seasons hotels.

Inside the box is also an adressed letter from the original owner printed on the four seasons office paper.

Jack Daniels exported to a few countries in the early 80-ties. Don't know how many but a few of them had there own back side label with there importer name and address printed on it. Finding these different bottle is another goal for my collection. If you got any Paper sealed black or green label bottle that is not on this page please Email me and I am sure we will do some good business for both of us.
So far I got paper sealed bottles from Germany (a few different versions), Italy, Japan, France and Denmark.
Below you see one of my most rare giftbox in the collection. This is a wooden case with smooth silk inner that holds a 1 liter (1000 ml) 90 % proof paper sealed Japanese bottle which is also in mint condition. Bottle and box are a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10... awesome piece of Jack Daniels... With ths case there came a small full color brochure with some Japanese writting inside.

All the European size where sold with these cardboard boxes.His collection before the acquisition of Giaccone one, was over 1.200 very rare old bottles of single malt. Quantity is not important for Begnoni, only Quality counts!

The next Foreign bottle in my collection is this France bottle. Nice detail on this bottle is the size marking on the label. No 700 ml like on most labels but 0,70 l. Not seen often on labels.
Another thing what makes it special is the big letter D on the left side of the bottom of the label.
Nice crispy plastic and paper seal with Eagle and "export" printed on it. Top bottle !
