Default antique bottles

I have collected bottles for quite some time, and am very familiar with
them. However, without the basics, it is impossible to give you any
information.

The down side is that not many bottles are worth a lot of money. The up
side is that some are, and some are just particularly interesting to know
what era they came from and what they were for.



I'm not sure this is the type of bottles under discussion here, but my dad
left several whiskey bottles to me. Not of any value I'm sure, but one I
would never sell, I would like to know the value of, to impress on my
daughter to keep, after I'm gone.

Have you ever seen a Jim Beam 100 month anniversary bottle encased in an
automobile on wheels. Looks like a old time delivery truck with "Jewel Co."
on the side? It looks just like a toy. It's about 8"H x 5"W x 10"L and
burgundy colored. Could be 50+ years old.

Not sure it matters enough to go searching on eBay, just thought I'd ask
since you collect bottles, and may have seen something like this. TIA...
