Antique White House Vinegar Wooden Crate - 6/18/2010 3:29:49 PM    White House Vinegar   Posts: 2 Joined: 6/18/2010 Status: offline Hello,         I was hoping someone might be able to give me some information. I have an antique dealer who has been bugging me to sell him my old White House Vinegar Crate (it was made to hold 12 half gallon bottles). I tried looking it up on the internet, but have not been able to find anything about it. I have been collecting antique bottles and wooden crates for 35 years, and have never seen another crate like this one. Before I accept his offer, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if this is a rare crate or not.        Here is a photo of the White House Vinegar Crate. Any information on age or rarity would be greatly appreciated.                          Thank you,                                P.S. I wish my photo was better. In person the crate looks near mint. I do have another photo of the side if someone needs to see it, but I could only post the one. Attachment (1) < Message edited by White House Vinegar -- 6/18/2010 3:31:37 PM > Post #: 1

As far as a fair price, I have no idea but you better be able to live with losing such an obviously rare item that you probably will not be able to replace. In other words, I hope he is offering a high price. Good luck with your decision. I always agonize when I sell something in my personal collection, luckily, I haven't had many that I regret.

I'd hang onto it, because the chances are slim you'll see another.

This price range is from 1998. You may add or subtract what you think that it's worth today. If it were mine, I would be hard pressed to sell it even at the high range price. Your decision. _____________________________ Just when you think that you have life figured out, someone changes the rules. (in reply to TomG) Post #: 11
