Bell of Lexington pre-pro

bgtrcet

I inherited this bar bottle from my grandfather. I haven't been able to find even a picture of another one searching the web. The bottle is 11" tall, and approximately 3-1/2" wide. The glass has a light purple tint. It is embossed Bell of Lexington in white letters And has a swirl pattern. Any help with rarity and value would be appreciated.

Thanks for posting. Your bar decanter is later 19th century.

Turn first to this page for a company history - http://pre-prowhiskeymen.blogspot.com/2012/04/sj-greenbaum-put-belles-on-his-whiskey.html

Yours is somewhat above average with its swirl pattern in the glass. I would put the value in the range of $100-150, possibly more. There may be a bit more demand for the particular Bell of Lexington brand which might put the value perhaps $100 more.
