I cannot speak for the Matty Tag (which does look very cool for the $$) but I can say that somebody STOLE that Pirates Whiskey Bottle.
I have seen a few much lesser examples in auctions such as Hunt's with badly torn/molested labels and chips/cracks to the glass. These still command prices of $500 - $800 (in less than VG condition). I do not think it's a stretch to say that this one is the best example extant... bar none!
I have never seen one with a perfect label such as this, and with such a beautiful tone to the glass. It even appears to have the original cork. At the right auction (and with 2 or more people who wanted it) this piece could easily exceed $2,000. A finer example could not exist.... sure wish I didn't miss it!
