American Whiskey Flasks

Generally speaking bottles are not selling very well on Ebay at the moment but good
bottles will still sell – read on.

We start with 6 ‘old’ bottles. The first Old Quaker Straight Bourbon Whiskey is 3 years
old. It has a 1937 State of Illinois Excise Tax Stamp on the back. The second Old
Quaker is also a 1930’s bottle. Both bottles measure about 95mm (3¾") tall. The first
sold for US$8.99 and the second for US$16.40. Old Log Cabin and Old Wilderness are
both also 1930’s bottles. The first sold for US$15.50 and the second for only 2¢ less.

Moving to the second row, Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey measures just over
102mm (4") tall. US$16.06 bought it. Old Mr Boston Rocking Chair Whiskey is an 80
year old bottle as it was sold in 1939. It’s a pity that such a nice old bottle sold for only
US$5.50. The Brigadier Whiskey is another 1930’s bottle. It did a little better at
US$13.02. Finally we have a 1936 Virginia Gentleman bottle. It sold for the highest price
in this first bunch, US$52

The second eight are a somewhat more random bunch but I will start with a couple that
sold particularly well.
