Ebay. Most give-aways are good but this one is truly special. US$297.87 bought it.

Not a mini but this
Bard’s Town advert
from 1940 caught
my eye. It is a 20
page booklet in the
shape of a fiddle
and the size of a
mini, 83mm (3.25”)
when closed. A bid
of US$22.50
secured it.

The Harper Whiskey to the left is from the early 1900’s. It is a
great old bottle with a nearly complete label. This again was
sold on Ebay, for what I believe is a disappointing US$46.05

My apologies to whichever
member sent me the picture
of the Red Stag bottle as I
cannot remember who it was.
This Red Stag is a Black
Cherry flavoured Bourbon
from Jim Beam. New Zealand
made a Red Stag bottle that I
showed you in issue 90 of
miNiZ but this was a deer
extract drink made for the
Chinese market.

Talking of the Chinese market, the
Nhan Sam-Tac Ke-Hi Mi bottle on
the left is from the country next door,
Vietnam. It was sent to me by Anand
Harirajah of Malaysia, who found it
on a recent visit to Saigon. I have no idea what it contains.

Last but not least is the Larsen
Collectors Club mini Viking ship
from 2007. This was sold on
Ebay, there were 39 bids and it
eventually sold for €401

Enough for now. Keep sending
me anything you like – preferably
money but I will accept bottle
photos.
