About Antique Liquor Bottles

There's an endless variety of styles of collectible antique liquor bottles, given the many types of liquor produced over the decades. Figural, odd shaped, barrel shaped, engraved, and demijohn bottles are just a few examples. Most collectors seek a specific liquor, shape, or brand. Liquor bottles can often be dated by the presence of a pontil and the type of lip. They may also feature a batch number or bottle date. And some feature labels with humorous and historic brand logos and mascots.
