Question
My friend has these bottles that he bought on the way home from Vietnam on western airlines. They are 1/10 pint, sealed, one is 100 proof Old Forester, one is 86.8 proof Seagrams V.O. and one is Canadian Club 86.8 proof all made in 1963 is there any value to these?

Answer
Hi Denise

Not really.  They are so high in alcohol that they won't have changed much, so they are fine to drink.  But connoisseurs won't pay extra for them, either.

You might check with the guys at antiquebottles.com.  They can tell if the bottles themselves are more valuable than the liquor inside...which isn't worth more than a dollar or two.

Hope that helps.  Sorry that I can't give you more exciting news.
