Still don't believe they could balance it there because of the heavy back end where the magnet is. It would be very lopsided.

Supposedly...

Couple of interesting unopened bottles I dug out from deep storage today while cleaning out junk. Dunno whether to drain them or put them up somewhere again. Not a gin man and the wine is past its prime but still has a kick.

These came from my Dad's estate. This one is from a 1963 Florida trip. Mom and Dad bought two of them in a box. I have had some from the other one, and it has turned very syrupy but still drinkable. ABV is 20%. Just the old label on eBay is $7.49.



This one is a 1970s bottle of gin with the paper State of Illinois tax seal still intact. I think it's funny that it says "In the Ancient Bottle" in the blue strip at bottom on the front. I have seen just the empty bottle without labels for $59.

Selling them may be worth the effort -- if nothing else, finding out how much someone will pay for either is interesting.

Prices are all over the place. They'll probably end up at the back of my liquor cabinet and pass on from MY estate. I will say, that Gordon's Gin held up well. It is still clear as ever. Turns out the gin bottle is from 1982-85, according to the tax strip. Amazing what you can find out online.

Not sure what would be more fun - drinking them, or seeing what you could get for 'em.

The gin will be fine. I'd sell that.

But I'm not brave enough to try the Dry Orange ... or is the proper word "crazy"?
