I have recently acquired a bottle of Chateau d' Yquem from 1943. How much might this be worth?

Virtually nothing if you can't prove how it has been stored. Secondly, 1943 was the best of the war-time vintages, so if storage was good, this is a very valuable bottle of wine somewhere in the $1400.00 range.

Bucko,
Interesting, I have a few collectables too. How do I prove how they were stored?

Basically you tell the auction house. If they are suspect, they will request to sample a bottle.
