Question
I HAVE A 1974 JAMES BEAM FOX SHAPED GLASS 86 PROOF BOURBON WHISKEY BOTTLE NUMBER#145 4/5 QUART.WHAT IS IT WORTH IF ANYTHING?

Answer
Hi Robin

If it has whiseky inside, that is worth about $35-50.  Because the alcohol level is so high, distilled spirits like this don't change much in the bottle, so they don't increase in value.

But the bottle itself may be far more interesting.  I am not an expert in bottles--for that you will have to go to antiquebottles.com.  They are very nice people, and they can tell you if the bottle is worth more than the whiskey!

Sorry I can't give you more exciting news.
