    Help to ID a Kentucky Bourbon Bottle with a partial label.

    Hi Jim, After thinking about the information you shared, I have decided to try to sell this bottle on eBay. When you stated that Don Keating may be your only buyer with interest in this bottle it made me think. I have always heard that you need at least two buyers at an action to make a price...

    Help to ID a Kentucky Bourbon Bottle with a partial label.

    Hi Bob, The cataloging is usually done by me, sometimes Jesse. I’ve given a good bit of thought regarding its salability. I have only one buyer who would almost certainly have interest, but because of the labels condition his interest would be simply as an example until he finds a better one...

    Help to ID a Kentucky Bourbon Bottle with a partial label.

    Thank you for getting back to me. Due to what Jim Bender stated in his book, I was hoping to hear a higher value. I have been working with old classic US stamps for quite a while and usually the fewer of a particular stamp the higher the value. Simple economics, supply and demand. I do...

    Help to ID a Kentucky Bourbon Bottle with a partial label.

    Thank you for showing it to me. Hi Bob, The antique bottle category that your bottle fits into is the whisky category. This category has a number of collectors, but not near as many as one of the major collected categories in antique bottles like say, bitters, historical flasks or early pre...

    Help to ID a Kentucky Bourbon Bottle with a partial label.

    Hello, I am familier with the bottle as I have a copy of Jim Bender’s book on Bininger bottles. The bottle without label would only fetch $75 or so at auction. Whatever value it has is in the label, unfortunately the important part of the label that has most of the printing is missing. It’s...

    Help to ID a Kentucky Bourbon Bottle with a partial label.

    This is the only known bottle with this Old Kentucky Bourbon label. It is also the only known bottle of this shape with a handle related to A.M. Bininger & Co. Wow. I think that my jaw is still on the floor! I have worked with rare stamps for some years. Usually when the number of a...

    Help to ID a Kentucky Bourbon Bottle with a partial label.

    Since I had no idea what a pontil mark was, I looked it up on Wikipedia and now understand your question. I do not feel any mark but do see a bubble inside. I read these pontil marks can be obliviated. I do see a line up the side that looks like a possible seam. I took a few more pictures...

    Help to ID a Kentucky Bourbon Bottle with a partial label.

    Thank you for all of the replies. So no one so far recognizes the maker. After reading a few threads on this site, I saw that there are several books by Michael Polak. I called my library to check availability and they are bringing one in for me next week. Would anyone be able to give a range...
