Not sure about the crest but I believe the bottle itself is a decanter as opposed to an actual liquor bottle. They were popular in the 50s and 60s as novelty items for the home bar or rec room. You could fill it with whatever your favourite tipple was and when lifted to pour, it played a tune. There is a small music box in the base. I have had one or two go through my collection over the years but none as nice as that one appears.
One hint, to preserve the music box, do not leave it sitting too long with tension on the spring. Lay the bottle down and it should continue to play until the spring runs down.
