Question
I have an unopened bottle of Bols Ballerina gold liqueur which I think may be quite a bit older than some of the other bottles mentioned.  I know that this bottle has been in the family for well over 50 years as I can remember my grandparents saying they would never part with it.  The only numbers on the bottle is Ao1575.  Just curious if it has any value at all.

Answer
Hi Sue

I see these all the time.  The liquid inside isn't worth much more than about $25, and the bottle about the same.  There were many many thousands of these produced.  Here's a link to a site that addresses this issue:

Sorry I can't give you better news.
