Any one know anything about these? - 11/14/2006 10:17:13 PM    jdub22   Posts: 9 Joined: 10/13/2006 Status: offline I found these bottles while cleaning out under a crawl space.  They seem to be a set.  They are Lacrima Christi wine bottles from the Borghini collection.  There are six bottles total.  There is a tower, a car, an old ship, a cardinal, a candle holder, and a stallion's head.  They are made in Italy.  One has a date stamped on the bottom that is hard to read.  I think it says 1961.  All bottles are still corked and most are still full.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The ones I have found looked to be common and in the 3-8 dollar range. But these pups are being a bit more elusive. I will add more If I can find more. (in reply to jdub22) Post #: 2

San Fransisco.  They were produced by Augusto & FLLI Borghini FU C. in Certaldo Italy.  Here is a picture of the label over the corks. Attachment (1) (in reply to bikegoon) Post #: 3

This is getting personal with me lol! These particular decanters may be worth around 35-45 dollars based on the few and I mean few as in scare, rare and just about non-existant blurbs of info I can find on them, I may be WAY off on that number. I am seeing a small group of people with these that have no idea of the history or value. A few mentioned numbers and although the decanters they had did not match these they were coming up with numbers in the 35-45 dollar range. I will keep digging on this one as time permits, but I think It is safe to say they cold be uncommon at least for some and may have some value to them. (in reply to jdub22) Post #: 6

I am still stuck on these but have some info for you I am seeing other folks out there with Borghini decanters running into this same problem, no answers to what they have, the few scare, rare and alomost non-existant blurbs I have though point in a positive direction in value. I have been finding numbers in the 20-50 dollar range, that is based on other folks that somehow knew the value of these old Borghinis, I am in the process of contacting a few to dig for more info. Kinda having fun researching this one! Post back more info as I get it. < Message edited by bikegoon -- 11/15/2006 11:23:18 PM > (in reply to jdub22) Post #: 11

I don't know if they're right and all your others look more 60-70 range to me. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.
