Well the crawling under the house continues... I have found several bottles of Walkers half full ... the bottles are corked .. the liquior seems to have thicken some .. :)

The only way I could tell it was walkers was the "W" on the bottom .. and I live about 1/2 mile from the warehouses ... So I am sure Great great grandpa liked a drink of good ole walkers

is stuff toxic ??

Is it more collectable half full ??? .. the label is gone ?

Hi Martel,
I doubt that it is any more toxic then when it was distilled those many years ago.[;)] I wouldn't leave it where curious children could experiment though. As for whether it is more collectable half full, thats probably a debate between collectors. Personal preference and all. I personally have many medicine bottles with original contents from the 1870's- 1880's. I think it adds to the nostalgia... but thats just me. As for label's, yes if you find any bottles with labels don't remove them. I believe most would agree that labels increase value. Hope this helps, Kelley
