Fitzgeralds Beer Troy, NY

[shayheg]

I found a full unopened 6 pack of Fitzgerald's beer from maybe the 1960's. They are no longer in business and I know this is valuable but I haven't found anything comparable on ebay to get an idea of what its worth. A single empty glass bottle is selling for $79 on ebay.

Selling or just listed at $79. Big difference. FeeBay is pretty unreliable for prices unless you are looking at actual ended auctions.

yeah, just listed at $79.

A full or empty 1960's Fitgeralds Bottle would probably only be worth around $5 or $10 max each in my opinion. Now if it was late1930's -early 40's Fitgeralds j-spout cone top Beer Cans 6 pack in mint shape then they would probably be worth $2,000.00+ LEON.

P.S. Post a Picture.

I'm primarily a decorative glass afficinado so I'm not very knowledable on this topic. My mom wants to give it to the Fitzgerald company, apparently they no longer produce beer but they are still in business as a distributor. She'also says I won't be able to sell it because its illegal to mail alcohol. You would think there would be an exception for antiques. Can anyone tell me the approximate value of this item.

would need to see the labels on all 6 Bottle for any one to give any kind of Guesstimate? LEON.

Looks like someone had been saving those for when the Soviets dropped the bomb.

Heres some photos of the bottles. My brother took the pics and i told him to make sure he captures any fine print on the label but he says there wasn't any. My parents called the Fitzgerald company, still in business but just as a distribution, and told them they had they decades old six pack and offfered to donate or sell it to them. They don't seem interested because they never returned my parents call. Now they dont know what to do with it. Uncle Bruce says its only worth like 50 bucks, it would cost almost that much to ship it to a buyer. Plus i dont think u can mail alcohol unless theres an exception for antiques.

Yeah, lol. Maybe in a 60's era bomb shelter underground.

$50 is about what I said, I said $30-$60. You can't ship Alcohol. Maybe list them on your local Craigslist. LEON.
