miniature bottles to be seen. About half of those
we saw were Wild Turkey (usually over-priced)
with a spinkling of a few other common bottles. I
only picked up four more bottles from the
probably dozens of antique malls we visited over
the five weeks. I was lucky enough to pick up
one of the Wild Turkey Habitat bottles at the
show and, amazingly, I picked up the other one it
pairs up to at an antique mall.

Where have all the bottles gone? With Ebay USA
no longer allowing you to sell minis that contain
alcohol, straight or ceramic, I had expected to
see lots, hundreds, of minis in the antique malls.
In reality there are probably less now than when I travelled in the US in 1999/2000.
