Hi! Has anyone heard of Miller's Game Cock Whiskey?
It's from Boston and stands 8 3/4" high. Is this referred
to as a flask? It's got some nice bubbles and in great condition.
Hey! I had one of these a long time ago and I can tell you how to sell it. As a collectable bottle it ain't worth too much, but I got a lot for mine (I think around $100) by listing it in a wierd category. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly where, but it had to do with South Carolina college football. Do a search for south carolina gamecocks and you might find the category that I listed in. Gamecock fans are nuts and I had 3 or 4 fighting over that bottle, it was a good strategy for listing it. In bottles it might've gotten ten bucks if I was lucky. Here's hoping it works again []
Hey Sean, great idea! I have found a couple of the quart sized ones. I didn't think to have submitted them under that type of listing. Thanks for the tip...
It may have been sports memorabilia, but I don't really know. It was long ago, maybe back in the 90s. That was one of the first bottles I dragged out of the Conn. River.
I remember doing an ebay search and finding a couple of gamecock things listed and getting bids, so I listed it whereever those things were. I remember I wrote this longwinded thing about how the winner could fill it with whiskey and bring it to a game. It worked, but I may have just gotten lucky. Definitely worth a try though, because it won't get too far on it's merits as a bottle; those turn-of-the-century whiskys just don't do anything yet.
Let me explain ... I'm from SC and an alumni from USC. Here The University Of South Carolina Gamecock's Football program is serious business. Tailgating itself is a sport. But, I really shouln't tell you that since my husband would love this bottle!
Use the tip of a sharp knife to test the closed part of the second "c" in "cock". That embossment may have been altered by closing the "c" with a bead of white glue.
