This is a brass spirit safe from the Glenlochy Distillery which began in 1898 and closed in 1983. It is being offered to the highest bidder by Loch Fyne whiskies and bids may close this Friday (10th October 2008).
Bids started at £2,000 and the current highest bid is £3,800. The successful bidder will collect the safe from Loch Fyne Whiskies’ base in Inveraray.
What about provenance? Well, the man who bought and developed the old Glenlochy Distillery in Fort William also owned the Argyll Hotel in Inveraray. He sold the safe to the current owner of the hotel. Loch Fyne Whiskies hope to have some more details on provenance for the eventual buyer. But go and have a look at the safe. It’s something else.
