I’m hoping perhaps you can assist me with a recent find. It is a Bardstown Distillery bottle, brown in color, in the shape of a violin. It is 11 inches tall and it has a cork stopper with Bardstown printed on top. It also has the back label listing the bottle info and history (the label is there and complete although it has a few damaged areas). However, the bottle doesn’t have the front label. In addition the bottle has part of the top seal on each side. It lists Patent # 107353 and has a couple of other number D202 and 65-41 on the bottle of the bottle. I only paid a dollar for it at a rummage sale, so I figured it was worth at least that much. Plus with it being Kentucky Derby Day and the mention of “My Old Kentucky” home on the back label it almost seemed like it was meant for me.
It’s actually a fairly rare bottle of bourbon. I’d explain it to you, but this website does a very good job. It might be worthwhile to track down a dealer in antique bottles or liquors to see how much value it may have.
