Title:
Gilbey’s Vodka (miniature) / Burroughs English Vodka (miniature)
Description:
Photo shows two small vintage miniature vodka bottles (airline/mini size) on a dark wooden surface.
Left bottle:
- Clear glass, short-shouldered rectangular bottle with a white ribbed screw cap.
- Red paper neck/closure strip is present.
- Front label is a red/white/blue diamond shape with large text that clearly reads ”GILBEY’S” and ”VODKA”.
- Bottle appears empty (no liquid visible).
Right bottle:
- Clear glass miniature with black screw cap and a black label with gold lettering.
- Main label text reads ”BURROUGHS” and ”ENGLISH VODKA”.
- Small circular medallion/crest elements visible on the label; lower label includes fine print indicating it is ”IMPORTED” and references Kobrand (typical importer seen on Burroughs products).
- Bottle appears empty or nearly empty (no clear fill line visible).
No barcode/UPC/EAN is visible in the provided photo (front view only). Miniatures of this era often predate UPC usage or have codes only on the back label; additional photos of the back and base would be needed to capture any numeric identifiers, proof/ABV, and bottling/import details.
Web context used for identification:
- Miniature Bottle Library lists ”James Burrough” entries including ”Burroughs English Vodka” as a US-import miniature item.
- General online listings show Gilbey’s Vodka exists in 50 ml minis, but the pictured label style appears older/vintage compared to modern retail minis.
