what they were worth. David emailed me back stating “a least $75 each even without labels.”
The following morning the mall rang to say my offer had been accepted. After adding tax
they cost me about NZ$35 each – I’m happy at that!
Above we have the owl and
two ducks. These all come
in blue and green versions.
The dog is known as Dog
Chasing Tail and is rather
big for a mini but has the
same amount of contents as
the others. The second dog
on the left is actually called
The Sphinx. MBL only had a
black and white scan of the
Butcher Boy before I found
this one. His correct name is
Boy with Cart. There are 36 in total in this set, some of which Miniature Bottle Library does
not have photos of. Go to https://www.minibottlelibrary.com/mbl/alpha/carioca/index.html to
see the others and, PLEASE, if you have any of these, especially any that MBL does not
have a photo of, get your camera out and send me the pics.

I have half a page
left so I will show
you some not so
old and not so rare,
but still good,
bottles I bought on
my travels.

The poly-Delft
house is a special
for G. Drenth of
Amsterdam. I
bought this for
US$1.50 at an
antique mall, I

would have paid 20x that! The ‘flicker bottle’ lady is
from RS Limited of California. I have another of these
in different colours.

The guitar is one of at least 10 different colour
variations from Music City, I now have six of them. The
boat is one of who knows how many paint variations
from G. Barattucci of Italy (Corfino is their trade
name). The last three all came from the show and,
sorry, I cannot recall what I paid for any of them.
