Question
Hi I came upon your name when trying to do some reseach on a very old and large Courvoisier Bottle lamp I have. I have never seen such a large bottle of Courvoisier. I think is must be a gallon or more. Some one has made it into a lamp (which still works... minus the shade) Im wondering if it has any value. Most of the paper lable is still on it....is fair to poor condition, a piece of the rope is still around the neck. The bottle it self is not chip or cracked. But is mounted on a base with a small brass base and a electric cord. I really just want to get rid of it. Do you know of the value and anyone who may be interested in it.

Thanks
Janice

Answer
HI Janice

Sorry to be the bearer of sad news, but this bottle won't have any value to a collector.  These were often made as display items for restaurants and retail shops, so there are lots of them around.

I wish I could give you something more exciting...
