minature valuation

[Jamie_F]

hi there, i have recently inherited some minatures(75 in total) from my late grandmother, some of them are quite old, but i have no idea of thier value or age or aything so was hoping that some one would be able to help, below are the pictures of said items, none as far as im aware have been opened but i think some have evoporated over the years.

any advice is welcome, thanks in advance, Jamie

Hi Jamie

Whisky miniatures do tend to evaporate over the years as the seals on them are not always the best. Most of the spirits you have will be drinkable but i would personally be weary of drinking some of the liqueurs as many liqueurs have a use by date.

Miniature collecting is a popular hobby and as far as whisky miniatures are concerned it would be single malt whisky which are most valuable, especially single malt whiskies which may no longer be produced today. I cannot see any in your collection that would be valuable but i cannot comment on the other spirits and liqueurs you have.

I am not sure if you are looking to sell them, if so i would think the best place is ebay, have a look on ebay and you will get an idea about what miniatures sell for you may even see some similar to what you have.

Hope i have been of some help.

thanks for the info, i will be putting them up for sale, just need a few spare hours for ebay , i have been searching on there and ive only found a few the same as what i have, my old man thinks the Dimples may be worth a bit as they are 30yrs+ old as he remebers his dad getting them when he was in his teens.

i did think about selling them as a job lot, but ill probably end up selling them individually or in small groups, like the guinness and harp together etc.
