Coytee Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Here's another decanter... full, technically unopened however, the seal has cracked over the years (maybe 35 years?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 And another...this one has been opened and quite a bit is missing... [:^)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Last one... although 'unopened', seal again has been broken and contents are maybe 50% missing... (evaporated?) [:^)] The last couple with the broken seals strike me as more interesting decanters whereas the first one might have some "other" value due to its potential contents!!

oldtimer Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Only a collector would be interested and I'm not sure if anyone does that sort of thing. The whiskey itself depending on exposure to light may or may not be drinkable. At least it is in glass and not plastic, but the color looks off in the photo. Once spirits are bottled they gain nothing from age, and usually lose a lot over time. You never know, someone born in 1961 might be interested. The stand would be of as much interest as the rest of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomad02rider Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I have an almost new almost empty bottle of crown I will trade you for the stand. Mine evaporated too. Well it did. Well ok I maybe drank just a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I dated a girl and her grandparents had a 1960's bar fully stocked all botles sealed. It was difficult to not break some seals. It looks like there is some value to this bottle. Check ebay and also completed items. They range in price from $30 - $300. The decantur is probably worth the most. Find a collector website as well as ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Find a collector website as well as ebay I've got a friend from junior high school that now owns a spirits store just outside of Detroit. I think I'm going to send him the pictures of the tilt bottle & get his two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I have a 1960 bottle. I checked around and came up with a 40 - 60 dollar price for the bottle. And was told not to try to drink it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my father in-law got it as some sort of award where he used to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted October 20, 2008 Moderators Share Posted October 20, 2008 The seal is cracked, but the bottle is full. My grandfather gave it to me about 25 years ago, and I think one of the kids opened it to smell it, although they would not admit it.

If by "smell it" you mean they got togehter with their tiny bopper friends and drank 1/2 of the bottle and then topped it off with water, then you are correct.

I have no idea what that Crown is worth or know what happens to the taste over that many years. I may need to refer to some experts. But the idea of having that bottle.........got my wife's attention. It could be one of those things that I hold onto until the day I retire....then crack the seal for a huge swig. jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
