Any suggestions? I know the insides need to be tumble clean but should a guy re gold fill the letters! or just clean fill with whisky and enjoy! BD6DA2B3-BEA5-424F-8883-FD809F284BCD.jpeg

I'd leave them personally. Even if they don't display as well, it feels like you'd be removing a lot of historical context to re-do the gold lettering.

Hey ROBBYBOBBY that’s one thing I’m not sure of on these ones is the value? I’m out of central Canada and Barclay76 is out of Cincinnati Ohio I believe not to far from the Ontario border and Great Lakes I guess. Thanks for your thoughts CanadianBottles I also had those thoughts so I’ll prob give them an inside tumble and let them shine!!!

I don't know about this style for sure. What I do know is the 1880 Barclay 76 flask and 1890 lady leg whiskey both amber are worth $20. Do you know the year they were made? What about any manufactures marks?
