Any bourbon experts out there?

Really cool old bottle Andrew!! It appears to be in excellent condition for its age, with an upper shoulder fill level. Got any pics to show clarity?
I found this lil tidbit on the distillery
The Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Shively, opened on Derby Day in 1935. For four decades, it thrived and was known for making the finest bourbon in the world. On June 30, 1972, the company was sold. After a series of name and ownership changes, Stitzel-Weller is now owned by Diageo. Though the site today is operational in that it stores and rests barrels of various whiskies, Stitzel-Weller has not been a functioning distillery since 1992.
If I had some cash buried in the hills somewhere I would certainly make an offer.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. From what I see that bottle is pristine! Any true collector would pounce on that shiz
Do you have the box?
Ask these cats: http://www.lawhiskeysociety.com/pages/Value-of-Very-Old-Fitzgerald
I think being a 10 year will limit the top end. Whiskey stops aging once it's in the out of the wood and into the glass bottle.
Does look like it will have some value though.

$300
Is that a bid??
Ha no it's the value.
I agree though ask LAWS, they have a form.

man i'd love a tumbler of that stuff right now..been laid up the last week after ankle surgery, gotta 'nother few to go..i need some booze! 
500 is solid especially if private sale/cash, 1000 at an auction, you lose buyer and seller premiums and these seem to sell more around 300 anyway.
PS. Again, not an offer, your question was the worth.
