We are, however, more than happy and willing to try and assist you in learning more about your bottle such as its age, the maker, or any other pertinent information that we can provide. We do purchase bottles regardless of the age, type, or condition, including bottles that may need repair or restoration. Please contact us if you have a bottle you wish to sell.
