Saurian Brandy Bottle (Star Trek TOS)

I can't believe I never posted this here. I've had this done for over a year...

Anyway...

Here's the before photos of the George Dickel Souvenir whiskey bottle. This isn't the accurate bottle (the accurate one is amber colored glass).

Here's the other photos of it.






A friend of mine literally popped the cork off the bottle...cracked right in half. You have no idea how tough it is to find a cork that fits perfectly. I did end up finding one though.

Also the strap was cracked (the leather was that dry!) in half when I bought it. I had a friend cut a strap for me and punch the holes. I laced it up and painted it. Can't even tell.

That looks really cool ! Love it !

Well done

Thanks. It is one of the few props I actually completed 100% (so much gets left unfinished).

I also painted the mini bottle, but I don't think I took pictures of it. I sent it to TOSPHASER as a gift (before his ban).

I'd love to get an accurate bottle one of these days - I'd even trade someone for that one.

I couldn't get the paint to go on smoothly with a brush...so it is all finger painted. I also had to use a clear coat since the paint was flat.

Those stickers are a ***** to get off on some of those.

Nicely done!

You are right about that. I used Goo Gone and a razor blade. There were label dust everywhere when I was done. After all those years the glass adheres to the label.

I have the same darker bottle with the strap broken in the same place!
Mine is missing the cork and wooden top completely.
Could I get some measurements of the top so I can recreate one?
Pleasepleaseplease?!?

Got one kicking around for years, but haven't done the conversion yet!

There are some of these going around on ebay for about $100

I have a full, never opened, still in the box, STAR TREK SAURIAN BRANDY, full with the original Dickel whiskey. Does anyone have an idea on how much that would be worth.

I have both bottles, the larger one and the smaller one.

My grandparents got them from somewhere, and didn't want them anymore.

I don't know but I sure as hell would love a swig!

Just don't go all Bad Kirk after that...

You may have to bust this out next year when Star Trek II comes out!
