A lot of times Guests & even New Members have a difficult time finding out how to
upload pictures... Having my direct email address handy alleviates that for you!
(I specialize in pre-1960's vintages of hard alcohol: Whisky, Rum, Etc)

If you want a bottle dated or appraised for valuation, I will need to have some clear
photos in order to know what I am looking at: These photos are critical, both for the
dating information, and especially the valuation portion as “Condition is Everything “.

Dating-critical information is often found in these places on your bottles:

1) The Cap style
2) The Tax Stamps (Federal on top, and State on side - If available)
3) The Shoulder-label (Between the neck & body of the bottle)
4) The Front-label (Main label on the front of the bottle)
5) The Back-label
6) The Bottom of the bottle also often has useful information

I can usually date most bottles within 48-72 hours.

Cheers,
