Old Vernors bottles in the wooden crate

[Molly]

 I have an original crate of Vernors bottles, quite large, too.  I am coming back after Vicki tried to get me started.  One item(s) per post. ;)

Hi Gals! Molly, Your crate is very cool! If I had that in my booth at the antique mall, I'd put about $35-$45 on it! Interestingly, "Vernor's" sells best in MI. I think OH peeps know about it too, but not sure on anyone else. 

Bonnie - Very Cool Glass hand! I'll best some vintage jewelry would look amazing displayed on that! Very fun!

I think the crate is great, also...but are people interested in Vernors bottles from this time period?  Or the size of them?  I live in Michigan, so Vernors is part of the cultural landscape but I am just wondering about the level of interest in these (or similar) bottles. 

I also have Stroh's, Goebel, and Faygo from Detroit, if anyone would like a look.  

Thank you for the support

I first became familiar with Vernors, from my late mother in law, she was from Michigan, and still bought it here, canned of course. she drank but also shared a recipe with me using it, I call the "concoction", I will give you copy it is good!

A staple in every Michigan household at one time.

Thank you for the recipe and the tips.  I have a couple other crates, as well.  Maybe I will post some different kind of bottles.

Cheers!

Well, The $ is in your old crate. Vintage advertising is hot right now, and prices are going up! So in this case, your bottles enhance the crate!

I haven't tried to sell bottles recently, but they usually do sell at our estate sales, if the price is low.
