Can You Sell Decanters?

I have seen them in antique stores for as much as $30. Your best bet for selling these old bottles is to an antique dealer, but don't expect a high value as they want to buy cheap enough to sell for a profit. A better bet would to find a decanter or bottle collecting group and let them know what you have for sale.

How do I know if my decanter is worth anything?

Identifying the maker of your decanter will help determine its value. Place your decanter on its side between two books so it won't roll. By using a magnifying glass, examine its base for the maker's mark. Pay special attention to the center and along the edge.
