Seller of TVs taken aback by Franke's surprise arrival with luggage

In the latest episode of the popular trash show "Bares für Rares" on ZDF, a unique item was unveiled. Sam Moerseburg from Lower Franconia made an appearance on the show alongside Horst Lichter.

The item in question was a violin case, described by the show as "a really charming piece." However, the dealers on the show assumed it contained a corresponding musical instrument. To their surprise, the contents of the violin case were something unexpected - a whisky bar with unused bottles and glasses.

The whisky in the violin case was written without an "e" as seen on the labels, a detail that caught the attention of the show's hosts. The manufacturer of the whisky-bar was not explicitly mentioned in the search results. The case contained unused bottles and glasses labeled "Whisky" without an "e," but no specific manufacturer was named.

The whisky in the violin case could potentially be Scotch whisky, as it may have aged for at least three years in an oak barrel in Scotland. The gift set comes from Scotland in the 1990s and was made on commission by the whisky company "White Horse," founded in 1890.

The sale of the whisky bar ended with an unusual action. Jan Čížek almost won the bid with 240 euros, but Jos van Katwijk, another participant, asked if Čížek had a coin, and suggested bidding 250 euros. However, Elke Velken-Toennies, another participant, asked her colleague van Katwijk if Moerseburg played musical instruments. Van Katwijk denied playing musical instruments, which led to some amusement among the dealers.

Annika Raßbach, an expert on the show, informed that the contents are new and the case shows slight signs of wear. With the bottles and glasses, one could make the popular drink "Whisky Soda" at the time. Raßbach estimated Moerseburg's 200 Euro target as realistic, it could even be exceeded.

The episode from August 28th can be seen in the media library for those who missed it. It's a fascinating watch, not just for the unusual find, but also for the lively banter among the participants and the experts.
