Beverages/Bols 4-Compartment

Question
When cleaning out my grandmother's place, we found a bottle of Bols with 4 compartments containing Apricot Liqueur, Creme De Menthe, Cherry Liqueur, and Curacao Triple Sec. I believe the seal is gone, although I am not sure whether it had one, but the corks are still intact and it still has the corkscrew as well as 5 spouts still wrapped. Can you tell me anything about this bottle (i.e. how old) and does it have any value?
HI Jill
These were developed as a promotional item for Bols in the 1950s...although some date from before that. They were produced for many years. I see them pretty regularly on ebay, selling for between $25 and $45. The liquor inside should still be drinkable, as the alcohol levels are so high...
Hope that helps

| Comment | Thanks very much. I found a couple on different websites but none had the corkscrew and spouts in the original wrappings still attached and thought that might make a difference in value. | ||
