What is the value of a 1953 Eisenhower Inaugural liquor bottle?

Answer 1

As with all things collectable the value is only what:

1) The buyer is willing to pay.

2)What the owner is willing to sell an item for.

Rarity and demand do not always sinc.

If an item is too rare it may not bring a great return because there are too few to create a demand.

If there are enough of a given item to justify the cost of promoting/ advertising it the "value" may increase if enough buyers become aware of it, and thus create a demand.

Any (glass) inaugeral item that is 50+ years old is only a collecters item. It will have little or no investment potential.

To the collector of inuageral bottles it would be desirable to ad to their collection.

Items such as this are more vauable for trading/ (I've got You've got, lets make an ever trade kind of thing).

That said you may be able to get $5 on Ebay.

I own one and it is not for sale on trade.

You and I may be the only ones in the world that have one intact. You never know.

FYI: 332,779 glass items up for auction on Ebay as of 11:30 am on 9/21/09 and there are no Ike Inaugeral bottles to be found.
