I think I know this bottle 🙂
This is the Joseph H. Reinfeld imported bottle with the red velvet box… The number 1N is actually an underlined number 2.
Corrected Info: This is bottle #2 from the 1938 period and it came in a red velvet box instead of a green one.
Hello everyone, I just added another picture.
Hello Carl… I thought it was your bottle.
Are you really considering selling it?
To those who don’t know: It is the oldest (verified) Louis XIII in original condition with case that I have seen. This is older than any of the bottles in the rattan baskets.
It is a 1938 or 1939 Baccarat (with no markings on the decanter) and imported to the US by an importer that ceased to exist in 1940.
Yes Michael , the most information I got to date related to this bottle I got from you, thanks again for sharing your knowledge. As you can see I’m still trying to find out more if possible. Because of the uniqueness of this bottle (it’s age, from the 30’s and it being bottle #2) I hope to find a buyer who wants this one-of -kind find as part of their collection, but also willing to pay me a fair price. I think it would be a perfect compliment sitting next to that bottle of Black Pearl or on display at a high end casino bar in Vegas. You may be able to get another bottle of Pearl, but there are not too many of these around, especially being bottle #2.
Hi Carl,
You have a really rare bottle… but that does not always equate to valuable. I am probably one of the few people who can truly appreciate that it is different from the other Louis XIII.
Many collectors may choose a bottle in the rattan basket or green mirror case over yours simply because they are more iconic although less rare.
I am still very interested in it for my collection but I hope you find a higher bidder!
Hello Carl,
I really like this bottle of beautiful cognac.
Thanks for the explanation from you and Michael I also realized that it is extremely rare, so I would like to make an offer as $6000 with respect. Please kindly consider it and let me know what do you think.
Best Regards,
Maeky
