What's been shakin' in the western whiskey world lately? Are all you collectors asleep?
Seems to me with all the western items available at Auburn we should have some sort of report about what changed hands.
Or... have all you whiskey guys gone underground. And by the way, where the heck is the sole agent, I'm getting mighty thirsty for some whiskey news!

I also notice a little sparseness on the 'ol whiskey blog. When the big news is your's truly basically giving away two killer fiths on ebay, we have hit the wall.
ReplyDeleteWill show a nice acquisition, and provide a report of the whiskey bottles available, and shown at the show in another post.

Now that's an interesting Cutter. A while back there was a stoneware Hostetter's on the bitters site. Wonder if there is a relation.

Obviously, it's someone's imagination that cooked up that thing. I don't rally see how a late 1880s-90s fifth came to be "fired" in clay. More'n likely a vessel created with the intent to defraud a collector out of a few bucks. I'm not "buyin'" it.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a couple of #784 Taussigs over the years as well. Both had a cream glaze and were quite obviously fired clay. One of them could have passed for old as it had crazing lines in the glaze. Ya never know...
