Burton's Fine Old Navy Rum
Bottled 1970s - Chas H Sheen & Sons
75.7cl / 40%
A bottle of Burton's Fine Old Navy Rum, produce of British West Indies. This was bottled by Chas H Sheen & Sons Ltd., we estimate in the early 1970s.
This lot comes from a large collection built up during the 1970s in Kent, England. For 50 years the owner displayed the collection in the family’s home bar, with later additions being gifted to the collector by friends and family. Then in 2021 the collection was dismantled to be sold at auction. Many of the bottles have stickers that show the original price paid and the date (month/year) of purchase.
This Burton's Fine Old Navy Rum sold at our online auction for £170
