Relative to the other bottles, just to be up front, there are at least 4 modern reproductions and a large number of effectively worthless bottles. Most of the stuff that is clear, aqua, or amber and unembossed has little to no value-it is stuff that when I dig it I put it back in the hole because I can't get anything for it in the antique shop, bottle shows, or flea markets. The blue screwtop stuff is worth maybe a couple bucks, and the blue cork top stuff with no embossing is worth maybe $5-$8. Fairly plain whiskies that say "Federal Law Prohibits..." are typically worthless. Bottles like the Atwood's and the Pierce's are worth about $5 or so each. The Kellerstrass is a $10-$15 bottle in that nice shade...they are super common but at least attractive. Definitely the Ponda-Cura is the gem in this lot by a long shot.

Wow! That is a nice buy! Beats anything I've ever bought, anywhere, when it comes to bottles :) The trouble with my collection now is that any new ones I add mean that I will have to get rid of some, because I recently built a wall shelf in my basement to hold my collection, and every possible square inch of shelf space is occupied :)
