Yellow Whiskey, Aqua Whiskey, Patent Med, Food Bottles - 8/21/2010 4:42:46 PM    asterisk80   Posts: 142 Joined: 8/24/2009 Status: offline Here's a grouping I've recently bought for $30.  A couple I can't find any info on.  Any Whiskey, Patent Med, and Food/Fruit Experts care to offer any ideas?  I'm guessing most are pre 1900, especially the Yellow Whiskey, but some are eluding me.  A 3 pc mold Yellow whiskey goes for about $15-20 I think?  Any ideas on age, history and worth on the lot?  Thanks for looking!  Asterisk Post #: 1
