I had posted these bottles about six months ago to try to get a price on them and got no replies. And now i have someone that is interested in buying them and i would like to know what a fair price would be. The one on the left is a Leven R. Gerrett & Sons and stands 11 1/2" tall and the Roth & Co. stands 11 3/4". They both have inside screw threads.
Thanks,
Dale

Hi Dale ,
I can't really give you a value on your bottles . I know a Roth mold variant in an applied glob top brings several hundred dollars. Yours being a tooled top ...it's not near as valuable. But , it is quite ornate ..... good looking bottle ! The other bottle I have never seen before....But , I would say it probably is a Whiskey also , because of the inside threaded lip. Any other embossing on the bottle ?
Are they damage free ? And what is your asking price on the pair ?
Thanks , Brian

Hi , I just emailed Ralph VanBroklin and he said 15.00 to 20.00 on the Roth. And he didn't know anything about the other.
Townsends is refering to a applied glob top with the monogram at 200.00 I believe. Kovel's again , with no description !
