Yellow/Golden/Amber quart whiskey? - 9/27/2006 4:58:30 PM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline I was close to buying at least one of these today. To me it looks to be either a yellow amber or golden amber quart whiskey, 3 piece mold, slightly crude with a wax seal. Only one of them has the original contents ans it ain't perty. They have a little bit of lip slop but not bad. What do you guys think? If anyone is interested in one I could go back and get one I suppose.  Swizzle Post #: 1

Does your lip slop mean chips?. For $2, eh why not if in good shape. Theyre somewhat resale worthy on the right day but nice keepers anyway. If they've been there a while you might get half off just by asking. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.

I know in general 3 piece molds date between 1820 to 1880. I'm guessing these are 1870/80's. There is 3 different people who run the shop and the price can depend on who you talk to. I almost bought a tullamore dew irish whisky jug for $6. I wanted it for $5 and she wouldn't go any lower. I'm guessing the only thing stopping me from buying these is how little whittling there is on them for a 3 piece mold. The olive amber 3 piece mold that I bought out of the same box was only $1 and that one I'm guessing is 1850/60's and has ('S & Co) on the base and is much cruder.
