BORDEAUX date and value?

[Bigcypresshunter]

Sealed mini Peppermint Bordeaux corktop with original contents made in France. Im looking for the dateline and value.

The glass has bubbles in it. The cork has broken and half is floating inside but it remains sealed.

It says on the front label EXIGER NOTRE SIGNATURE SUR LE COTE DE LA CAPSULE Made in BORDEAUX (France)

The signature on the back label (and on the cap) is Marie Brizard & Roger.

Hey, hey Bigcypress,

I looked at this form last night, when you put it up with the others. Am I seeing a bulgy area in the upper lobe of that bottle, left side.

Again, I think, prewar. The label looks older on this one, and it may dip into the teens or Twenties. I like the foil seal.

Marie Brizzard had, and has an extensive catalog of flavors & brands. They produced many appealing bottle shapes for many, many years, as I'm sure you've discovered. They also produced some amazingly striking posters in the belle époque.

The disclaimer of the front translates to "require our signature on the side of the capsule" according to my googler. I think the cork in the liqueur may be a turn off to those prospective drinkers, though it would have no impact for the miniature collector.

The bulge is the cork. The corks seem to get soft and disintegrate. It may be a turn off but I would imagine many old corks are breaking up. It was OK until I moved it around for the photography. This old stuff is delicate.
