Absolutely beautiful!
Take your time with them, maybe pull all the pontils aside and research them. Just the ones shown your probably 3-4K.
The Prices Pure Reparations sounds interesting too. I looked quickly but haven't found a reference. Is that Salem MA?

pontils

Again know that I am noob sauce here and I know enough to know about pontil's... and I know there is open, iron, sand, hinge... and it all looks good online... then I get down to the basements and on my hands and knees and start going through these hundrends of bottles and its not so easy then to know what is a pontil and what is not...

Any easy guide or method?? and sorry to be so green... I'm just trying to learn enough to help my mother in law out... and offer up some goodies

Thank you in advance - Paul

You could start here. This is the BASE page but you can get anywhere from there.

I gonna guess the Helmbold, Thapgrin's. the fancy cologne, Maybe the Pheanix Bitters, tall green cologne (wine taster) at least.
There's still some nice smooth base and even the ABM poison's are nice but I leave that to someone else.

Id be willing to pay the shipping to have them all shipped down here and taken off your hands ahh if only it were that easy. Thousands of bottles for only the price of shipping. This is an amazing collection.
