Vintage Lemon Hart bottles?

Pages: 1 9 replies

Anyone here collect vintage Lemon Hart bottles?

I started a collection accidentally recently. In my stash at home I have a yellow label and a red label bottle, and I snagged a 70s era bottle off eBay. Then, a friend brought me home some German 151.

I'd love to find some more vintage bottles to add to the collection.

I have a Havana Club bottle for trade. It was bottled fr the UK market. Any interest?

Just looking for Lemon Hart bottles at the moment.

What part of Michigan are you in?

The current collection. Not sure the age of the bottle on the left.

I found this cut Lemon Hart bottle, I assume it is from the 60's or 70's because it is a cut bottle... says bottled in Scotland on the bottom.

I will play.

The first bottle one the left is from Bob Karst he is one of the first bartenders at the Kahiki.
His wife was selling furniture and we went to look at it and saw this bottle.
It did have booze in it from the 60s maybe, AND we did try it for sure.
But the booze was not bad as in it will kill ya, but then it was not good as in give me some more.

It was so sad taking away his bar as he sat in the living room his wife said he was having a "good day".
Well here we were taking away the stuff that made "good days and nights"

Here's a tip, one day you will be to a point where your "good days" are not really that good, drink that booze now.

Back to the bottle, it is 151 and from the around 60s I would guess.

Next is the coolest bottle I think, not Lemon Hart but cool.
Found on ebay,
Bought this bottle and the seller said her husband broke it while packing it, the top broke off as he tried to clean it out.
I asked her to send it anyway, so she gave it to me for free.

Last is a very cool Lemon Hart golden rum, It is 70% by volume.
Got this from a place called Extreme Trading in Germany online.
I think he is gone now, I used to get Havana Club from him as well.

Have never heard anyone talk of this Gold version on TC.
Got the Gold Lemon Hart long ago before everybody was so ga ga over Lemon Hart.
In fact when I first got Lemon Hart and said something on TC nobody seamed to know about Lemon Hart.

I should have kept my mouth shut looking back.

Love the collection there TikiSkip!

Someone here in Japan is offering a vintage bottle of Lemon Hart 151 for sale (via Yahoo Japan auctions).

Bidding starts at a mere ¥2,000,000 (close to $20,000), or you could go for the buy-it-now at just ¥3,000,000. (You'd probably be safe with the lower amount. The auction has been running for months. :P )

Cool-looking vintage bottle, but you'd think for $20,000, the seller would have photographed it without the Saran Wrap covering...
