some more Scotch. The two Rutherford Bulls sold for a very
disappointing £5 for the pair. Incidentally, these were sold
as Whisky Cows – neither of us would like to try milking
these! The Springbank Books fetched £20 the pair – the
bottom end of the range we would have expected. We
would also have expected more than £2.50 for the
Rutherford Book, which is clearly in mint condition.
Another disappointing
seller, at £2.50, was
the Pickwick jug
featuring Oliver Twist.
This may have done
poorly as these are usually sold in a set of 8.
The two Scotch crocks were both sold by Trademe in NZ, both
have repaired handles and both sold for NZ$40 each. The
Ballantines is a common jug in NZ (although there are
variations) and this was reflected in the price of NZ$33.
Air New Zealand buildings always sell well on Trademe, but
no longer for the silly prices they used to. Sales now tend to
be in the NZ$40-80 price range with this one, 56 Marine
Parade, selling for NZ$65
