Martell half bottles and miniatures — 6 reacties

  1. Hello,

    From my Great-Uncle’s home (he had died in 1969) – I discovered a 5`/2fl oz of VOP Martell – is there a value to keeping it or selling it please?

    Many thanks
    Hille

  2. Hi Stan,

    With a proper filling level these three star miniatures often fetch only around 10-20 euro. But in this condition someone must be very desperate to get this one in his collection to even bid on it.
    On the other hand don´t be surprised to find empty bottles (not necessarily Martel) for sale on ebay for 15 euro or so. But these are not easily sold. They are there for months, sometimes years.

    I hope this answers your question.
    By the way, I would like to have a decent frontal photo of this bottle to put on my page…
    I will send an e-mail to make it easier to send a bigger format photo.

    Kind regards,
    Ton
