No Tax Stamps to the best of my knowledge.

Would it be beneficial to upload pictures of all 19 bottles and boxes? I can easily do so. All liquid in inside, and clear. All original packaging and no seals have been broken.

If you can get all 19 bottles into one (attractive - by which I mean, staged so things show well) photo that would be more than sufficient for this. I'll update the appraised value for all of them once you do.
Thanks!
Delia
