Hello all.  

We are cataloging a large collection of antique bottles found in the attic of an antebellum mansion this summer.  We have found that some of the bottles still contain liquid.  The bottles appear to be liquor or wine bottles and are at least 100 years old.  Most still have their seals, but have evaporated to less than half full.  Has anyone tackled this problem before?  Please contact me to let me know how you handled it or if you have any advice or suggestions.  Thanks --Cheryl
