How do I identify vintage barware?
1 Answer

To identify vintage barware, examine the bases and interiors of items, looking for maker's markings. By matching these hallmarks to images published on trusted online resources, you can typically identify the maker and then conduct additional research to learn when it produced similar pieces. To be considered vintage, barware must be between 20 and 99 years old, as items at least 100 years old are antiques. If you can't find a maker's marking or run into any difficulties with your research, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you.
