12.5" tall 3 3/8" wide at the bottom
I was told it was supposed to have been on the Titanic but never made it
Hi Killa,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Anything connected with the Titanic is always more valuable, the trick is to securing the provenance that this bottle was from 1912 (the year the Titanic sailed/sank) and that it was supposed to be on the ship.
Unfortunately, in the case of this, the name Schieffelin & Co. suggests that this was retailed from New York Cityso probably did not have a connection with the Titanic. Another factor working against this is that the foil wrap has been tampered with/removed so while the bottle appears to be unopened, it is not in such pristine condition. Most people would consider this fairly undrinkable.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A vintage Moet & Chandon "White Star" champagne
early 20th Century
standard bottle
12 1/2 inches tall
CONDITION: oxidation and toning to label; foil wrap removed
$400-600*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
