I used to think I was gonna be rich from a 6-pack of coke bottles from 1980 Winter Olympics Lake Placid. It was like a special collectors item with the olympic rings logo on it. Apparently, its not worth jack.

It seems antithetical to the general world of collectors and buyers of antiques because they always want the item to be as close to its original appearance and condition as possible. Therefore, I was surprised that having the beer in it has no effect on the value in the antique bottle...

My uncle thought it would be several hundred dollars. I don't know much of antique beer bottles but one would think a 60 year old unopened 6-pack with case in near perfect condition would be worth a lot more. I guess there's not a high demand for this brand.

I'm primarily a decorative glass afficinado so I'm not very knowledable on this topic. My mom wants to give it to the Fitzgerald company, apparently they no longer produce beer but they are still in business as a distributor. She'also says I won't be able to sell it because its illegal to mail...

I found a full unopened 6 pack of Fitzgerald's beer from maybe the 1960's. They are no longer in business and I know this is valuable but I haven't found anything comparable on ebay to get an idea of what its worth. A single empty glass bottle is selling for $79 on ebay.
