Old bottle of Jameson

Postby Lynn2268 » Tue Sep 09, 2014 8:27 pm

Wondering if any of your can tell me the age of this bottle of Jameson and approximate value, if any? We found this cleaning out my parents home.
Thanks in advance for any and all information.
Be well

Here's a couple more photos of the bottle. Notice the serial number on the label. Wondering if that may date it.
Thanks again!!

That's a great looking bottle Lynn.

It looks pre 60's but I'm not sure. Later ones had a different neck label I think. The condition is excellent, looks like it just rolled of the production line. Where was it stored? Is the fill level high?(has any seeped out)

Can you post a picture with the label only. I can't zoom in and read it clearly. It may have some markers or tell tale signs that would determine the age better.

This bottle was stored in a kitchen cupboard at my parents house for years. My Dad believes my great uncle gave it to him for doing some plumbing work at his house, many years ago. It is unopened and filled to where the bottle neck begins. Again, any information is greatly appreciated.

We're in Western NY. The bottle could have come from anywhere in the world. My great uncle was in the military and traveled the world.

This is a US bottling as if you look at the Label is says 86 proof (American)

I'd give this a wide estimate and is possibly worth €1-200 over this side of hte pond. However I see you are state side and I fear you may only be looking at $100 and that is if you can sell it over there.

We have an American Chapter so maybe contact Rich via this link and he may be able to assist you in selling.
