AHH! Check out all these bottles my grandfather left be... - 1/30/2007 5:10:09 PM    vsmack   Posts: 12 Joined: 1/30/2007 Status: offline I took around 50 pictures from all these bottles he left behind. Some are interesting I guess. Check some of them out. I'll post the rest later. This is all the WHITE LABEL I have, 1960's. How much are they worth? JB. One is out, the others in boxes. They're the same, like the one outside. Look nice. Bacardi, prb from the 60's. This box has a bottle plus 2 glasses. Don Q, I love the back part with Don Quijote. PLEASE, If you know how much these bottles might be worth please let me know. More pictures to come, I got lots more. I have to go though, so enjoy. < Message edited by vsmack -- 1/31/2007 1:25:29 AM > Post #: 1

Pinch - the one on the far left is 15 years old and laced+ the box. The rest look like they're from the 1960's. Mandarin - Weird and who knows from when. (in reply to vsmack) Post #: 4

RE: AHH! Check out all these bottles my grandfather lef... - 1/31/2007 12:47:19 AM    vsmack   Posts: 12 Joined: 1/30/2007 Status: offline Romate - Sherry - have like 12 boxes of 12. Who knows if they still make these. Scotch with History 1835 - I doubt this is from 1835, but it sure looks old. Bellows - front and back - looks pretty old. Black and White - front and back - I like the dogs on the back. Pretty old, and check out the cork. Carlos I - who knows... please,  if you do when is it from and how much, I'll appreciate it. This goes with the rest of the bottles. Chanti - wine, lots of it. Chivas Regal - Probably from the 1960's. (in reply to vsmack) Post #: 5

RE: AHH! Check out all these bottles my grandfather lef... - 1/31/2007 12:54:39 AM    vsmack   Posts: 12 Joined: 1/30/2007 Status: offline Cointreau - looks old, and I can smell the liquor. Date unknown, but this one is one of my favorites. The label is old/yellowish and the design is nice. Cutty Sark - 1960's probably. Nothing special compared to today's bottle yet one has a label on back and the other doesn't. The bottle caps are different too. Emilio Sherry - looks like the 1960's when I compare the graphics close to the cork. Marie Brizard - pretty weird bottle with 4 small corks. Petri Sherry - Looks old, but maybe it's due to the label... < Message edited by vsmack -- 1/31/2007 1:28:53 AM > (in reply to vsmack) Post #: 6

RE: AHH! Check out all these bottles my grandfather lef... - 1/31/2007 3:35:05 PM    vsmack   Posts: 12 Joined: 1/30/2007 Status: offline They should be worth something. My doubt is if it's worth selling them on ebay or keeping them. I personally do not drink, and I won't be able to enjoy the liquor. I don't even know if they're safe to drink. Anyways, I posted them up to see how much interest there is and how much, etc. BTW, anyone watching, please comment or pass this around if you can please. These are nice bottles that should be in hands of collectors or museums, not in my house. Even the old calculator in one of the pictures should in display in a museum for everyone to enjoy. I even have an old iron, sewing machine, royal crown bottle, zippo lighter, I even have a bottle of poison, which I forgot to post. The poison says "VENENO" which means poison in spanish.  (in reply to tazmainiendigger) Post #: 11

RE: AHH! Check out all these bottles my grandfather lef... - 2/3/2007 6:17:28 AM    epgorge Posts: 2410 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Those unopened and full of content are very valuable, particularly those such as the Hennessy which would only improve with age. The dewers collection was interesting, as it is a U.S. bar-well booze. Nice colletion though and I would sell it as a collection of piecemeal it on ebay. At least the wine and whiskeys, scotch, etc. They could command a high price. If you know of any connoisseurs, check them first. Ep (in reply to marjorie040) Post #: 14

Nice colletion though and I would sell it as a collection of piecemeal it on ebay. At least the wine and whiskeys, scotch, etc. Thanks for the info. Right now I'm contacting ebay to see if I can sell these through live auction or through their regular bid procedure. Personally I don't know any connoisseurs, but I'll see what I can find or if anyone could suggest someone please do so. Marjorie, thanks for the appreciation. Btw, my grandfather didn't own a bar. So imagine how much he drank. He was an alcoholic, not a problematic one, but he kinda drowned himself sometimes for like 15 years, and then stopped drinking entirely his last 6 years of life. He actually lived to be 91. Tough guy and everything, he even survived a hit in the head with a metal pipe because some guys wanted to rob/kill him (this happened when he was 70 something). He had like a dent in his head, not that noticeable, but I could tell. I freaked out when I saw him in the hospital because I was a kid, He was all wrapped up in the bed with bandages, especially in the head. He just told me to come close and not to be scared. He was my second dad, great guy. Miss him and my grandma too. (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 15

I'd be buying them to stock my liquor cabinet though. The Scotch would be the first one to go. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to vsmack) Post #: 16

RE: AHH! Check out all these bottles my grandfather lef... - 2/3/2007 2:11:07 PM    epgorge Posts: 2410 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Id'e be interested in a case of scotch, particularly any single barrel scotch, rather than "blend" scotch. The Hennesey would be my second choice for a case. Email me on that, please. Let me know what you want per case, bottle, ! You can sell these unopened bottles of spirits on Ebay, yet they must be sold as a collectors item, preferably under "bottles" category, or collections, at least. I believe you also have to say this is being sold collection purposes only. I have seen some single barrel (one scotch from one barrel rather than a blend from several) bottles go for as high as $110 dollars. Just for a bottle. With scotch, you see, the older it gets, the better it gets!! Let me know what you want. If I can afford a case I will buy a case. If I can afford a bottle, I will buy a bottle. God bless your Grandfather. Ep (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 17

Shipping through USPS is illegal, but I see that people on ebay do it anyways, and I don't know how it's allowed. Check it out, like this item, http://cgi.ebay.com/Jack-Daniels-750ml-Green-Label-Bottle-and-Tin_W0QQitemZ230086389946QQihZ013QQcategoryZ822QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Then on the usps web site, it says it's illegal to ship alcohol/wine. Is there a loophole? (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 19

When I bought it from a shop in Vermont, it had to be sent from a liquor license holder. Good Luck, I'm gonna drink mine if you guys don't want it! (in reply to vsmack) Post #: 20
