    Hi all,

    I was wondering if members would be annoyed the posting was not Pierce. I’m happy everyone has had fun with it :)

    I’m sure the storage conditions of my bottle were not exemplary. I’m pretty sure this bottle would be less then wonderful if cracked open. However, the bottles life has come back to be the mascot of the DC Phaeton. If not drunk, what better life could a special bottle ask for ;))

    The thread about the Champagne has been fun and I think we all like a bit of history.

    From what I’ve heard, a high alcohol content liquor will keep for a long, long time, as long as it’s stored in a decent manner (and from condition of this bottle it appears to have been kept well). The main hazard is evaporation from a bad seal on the stopper or cap. That’s a great looking bottle, and aside from drinkability, bet there are liquor collectors out there who’d love to have the bottle for the graphics. There’s someone out there who collects everything, you know, I have a Pierce Arrow bagged vacuum cleaner, and there are a LOT of people who collect older vacuum cleaners I found out….

    My only concern with trying to consume old liquor would be possible toxicity.One would not want to wake up with paralysis.

    I knew this hobby drives people to drink! Maybe the alcohol content

    in the gas encourages the thirst?

    Peter,

    Since “Dillamont” and “Dillman” are fairly close, I think you should send that bottle (preferably full) to me!

    I bet I could convince a few people of an ancestral connection.

    John,

    I would be pleased to do so, but it is spoken for at this moment.

    Also, you might be disappointed, as the FILL is a bit low, so it could be “vin-agre.”

    Regardless, it is a lovely historic bottle and has some minor chance of being good.

    Finally note that it is Villamont and NOT Dillamont, but good try!

    Peter,

    Just having a bit of fun!

    At a quick glance, I did miss the “V” vs. “D” thing.

    With the level being down, you are probably correct about the contents. In any case, it is a wonderful shelf piece. Maybe you should start looking for a nice 1929 Pierce to add to your garage!

    John
