Proceed carefully. Why? First, you cannot legally sell alcohol without a liquor license, even if its for hobby purposes in the U.S. (I'm assuming you're in the U.S.). Recently, a guy with a bunch of 100-year old Jack Daniels whiskey and bottles he was selling to collectors got arrested for selling liquor without a license. The antique bottles and booze were destroyed. So, you should hunt around on the internet (your best bet), looking for collectors of antique liquor BOTTLES. Meanwhile, take some good digital photos of your stash. Don't clean the bottles if they are dirty--you might damage them and reduce their value. Then, get lots of opinions--at least 6 to 10 or more. Most collectors enjoy talking about their hobby, so you shouldn't have any problem learning more about your bottles. In order to stay within the law, DO NOT offer to sell them. You could ask the vague question, "are they valuable?" Ask collectors where you can go to learn more about your bottles, and do some of your own research. Eventually, you will have learned quite a bit about your bottles, and if your collection is worth anything, a few collectors will have offered to buy your bottles even though you never mentioned it. If you know the collector is legit, you can sell them without the authorities getting involved. Some (unwise) people may be selling on eBay, but I don't recommend this, because again, you could get busted, and you could also get scammed. On the other hand, check eBay to see if anybody has anything similar to what you have. If they do, then try to contact them and ask about your collection. You should expect to spend about 6 months or more on this project, in order to protect your safety and to eventually get the best price.
