I was approached this afternoon to purchase a collection of 1930s whiskey bottles, unopened, or to determine if I knew of anybody who might be interested.I know there is a niche market for these, but I personally know nobody who collects them.If anybody is interested, please IM me and I can put you in contact with the broker.

No, as it was presented to me they are the full sized bottles. But I haven't seen them, so the broker might have been wrong. I can call today to verify.

In my experience there isn't a lot of interest in fiths. If they're early enough in the 30's with the medicinal use labels maybe. That and the so called "bitters". They can all be a bit expensive to ship.My experience is limited though.

If the don't show any evap or cloudiness, they should be good for one thing anyway.As long as the seal is in place.

I have seen advertisement for unopened old spirits bottles somewhere locally. I will see if I can find it and let you know. Scott

Well, I passed the information of the interested party on to the broker, who in turn said she would pass it to the owner.By providing a possible buyer it assures that the broker will call me more often when bottles come available. If they are not what I or my neighbor collect, I will continue to advertise them here.
