I don't know anything about a "bourbon auction" but I can tell you that similiar bottles from the 50's and 60's sell on ebay for $25 to $40 each. A few bottles of "bonded" or "bottled in bond" whiskeys that have sold recently were Old Forester and Old Grand Dad.
I'm a big fan of bourbon and I've recently found bottles still on the shelf from the 60's and 70's. Really cool to find a taste of history and it's only $10 or $15.
If you're interested in selling them, feel free to email me at

I'd like to add then to my collection...and then drink them.
