The green house is from
Surinam and, as you can see,
contains Black Cat rum. This
was one of two made for
Surinam Airways (SLM), a
former subsidiary of KLM, and
although the more common of
the two, is still difficult to obtain.
Usually we would expect this to
sell for around US$40 but this
one went for US$9. Sticking with
th
Surinam we have this bottle made by Bols for the 75
anniversary of KLM. This is of a Surinam house and we think
that it was only given away on the route from Amsterdam to Suriname (and possibly only on one
flight). To say that it is
super rare is an
understatement. The first
day that this was listed
on a Dutch auction site it
had 10 bids, the top of
which was €550. A Dutch
collector sent me these
photo for MBL but
unfortunately I could not
find out the final sale
price. We hate to think!

The pacesetter tractor pictures were sent by Seva
for MBL as this one is not currently listed. I (David)
have clearly got confused by Pacesetter. I thought
that they were all 150 or 200ml but as this is 50ml I
did some further research. Certainly some are 50ml
but I also found 750ml versions. I have not found
any label showing 150/200ml but most photos do not
show the labels. Please, if you are familiar with
these, put me right. This one sold for US$29.99.

Sticking with the USA we have the Wild Turkey Turkey &
Red Fox Bourbon mini. These bisque Wild Turkey bottles
(there are at least 20) are undoubtedly some of the nicest
minis ever made. This one sold for US$66
