I like the rat bottle, too.. I would have done the same and bought the lot for 35-... there's a few there that make it worth the dough..

..I believe the distillation of mallards didn't catch on, but that bottle is indeed one of the scores in this lot![]

U WERE CORRECT WHEN U SAID THE DISTILLING OF MALLARDS DIDNT CATCH ON . THEY SUED CUMBERLAND GLASS COMPANY IN 1906 FOR NOT MAKING THE BOTTLES FOR THEM . MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT FOR A SUM OF 900.00 WORTH OF FLASKS . GREYBIRD RELICS . COM HAS THE FLASK FOR 12.00 AINT THESE COMPUTERS JUS THE TOPS. GOOGLE USED TO BE WHAT YA DID AFTER YA DRANK THE WHISKEY .

When you are buying bottles for under a few dollars, it doesn't matter what its worth, only what its worth to you. If you like it, and its only a few dollars then its always a good buy. Its when you start paying $10 or $50 or hundreds of dollars that you'll really want to make sure you aren't being ripped off. But, everyone of us on these boards have some bottle in our collection that we "overpaid" for. Still, its all relative, and if you like it, then go for it.

Besides no collection is complete with an amber hostetters and a paines celery compound. They are over 100 years old (older than most stuff in actual antique stores). Plus they are kinda crude. Now just find a hostetters that isn't amber.

The paines and hostetter were two of my first bottles, and I still have them.
