made in 1984 for the Shriner
charitable organisation. If you
bought the full set you could also
get a Circus Tent to display them.
US$286.11 bought these - a good

price for the seller without the tent.

I'm sure that the seller of the Chiisai Bin
Teddy Bear was very pleased with the sale
price of US$42.99. The Chiisai Bin Poodle did
not sell as well but US$27.11 was still a
respectable price.

The Bear is a rarely seen mini from Japan.
Some Isiah bottles are relatively common but
some less so. The bear would be one of the
hardest to obtain so the US$62.99 price was not surprising.

Linfa Salus bottles from Italy are not
very common and this rather un-

inspiring pillar is probably even less
common than most as there was only a
poor quality photo of it on MBL before
this one turned up. The Cazanove jug is
from France and was sold in the US in
1936 - again, not common (and less so
with a full compliment of labels). So why
did they sell for minimum bids of US0.99
each? Simple answer, POSTAGE. Frankly
we are surprised that they sold at all as the seller wanted US$39.50 each to
post internationally. Postage is expensive but nowhere near this dear. David

Spaid recently sent me (David Smith) 4 ceramics and the postage cost was
US$14.34 for the four.

Liqueurs rarely sell well so I am sure
that the seller was happy with US$10.50
for the two Leroux Claristine bottles -
especially as one is clearly empty and
missing it's cap.

The only tequila we have for you this
time is Los Arango. This is in a nice blue
bottle with a leather label. Even so,
US$22 seems a very good price for the
seller.
