The listing, 3 Vintage / Antique Bottles Circa 1800s has ended.
you are bidding on 3 ANTIQUE/VINTAGE BOTTLES FROM THE 1800s. these were found in the eaves of an 200 yr. old barn that I demo'd. I will describe each bottle and provide a link for more info. I am not a glass bottle connoisseur, therefor I don't know much about them, or the hobby. please see photos for more details. GIN offers considered.
please keep in mind that this will cost me at least $12.95 in postage fees. i was going to charge shipping at first, but have decided to cover the cost and pay the shipping charges myself. therefor I need to start the auction at a higher opening bid. thanx and good luck bidding
