Hatchwood Bourbon bottle

Tome

I have 2 of these bottles. the one i have right here at hand says "made spring 1912 bottled fall 1916". I cant find any info on these bottles any where. I will post more info and some pictures later today, but wanted to get this started and see what any one knows.
Thanks
Tome

Hatchwood is a brand unknown to me. I look forward to your pictures.

Tome

Here they come. Labels are very fragile so I haven't cleaned the one bottle.

Chris

Well I presume you have seen this web page

This is an incredible site which is packed full of hard-to-find info about various distilleries.

What is especially great about these bottles is the intact tax stamps. I love seeing the date of 1913 which allows one to pinpoint the age. It is frequently hard to zoom in on a date with bottles!

Tome

Thank you for the response. I will go to that page and look around. I don't know anything about old bottles. so, are they worth anything with the labels being in such bad shape?

Chris

Yes, a little. There is definitely interest in what are called pre-pro whiskies. These are not the best since the labels are a bit compromised, but I think you would find a bid or two in an ebay auction.

Thanks for posting the photos.

Tome

What would be a reasonable starting price for them on ebay?

Chris

You might try $15 to test the waters, then perhaps $10 if they do not sell.

Tome

Okay. Thank you
