on Ebay and posting minis in the UK. The hobby survived without Ebay for nearly a century and our

I was watching the Eye Opener pre-pro whiskey flask
on Ebay to use in the 'As Seen On Ebay' article but
some idiot at Ebay pulled the listing. If this bottle isn't
empty I'll eat my hat. It just shows the current
inconsistency. It was made by J. A. Bellavance of
Nashua, New Hampshire and is in great condition for
it's age. I was working on adding bottles from France
to Miniature Bottle Library and came across the La

that also uses an eye - eye catching don't you think?

I was sent the photo of the three flasks (scientific type

from Prunum of Serbia, are all variations of plum brandy
and are currently on sale.

If you are a member who receives the printed edition
of miNiZ you will only be receiving a 20 page edition
instead of the special 100 page edition. You can get
the 100 page edition by email. Most of you have given us an email address but if you haven't
received a download link it means I have no up-to-date email address for you. If you do have
email and want the 100 page edition, please email me at minizv@gmail.com

Despite having to be moved, the club had a successful AGM. For the first time
in many years we have a full committee.

Finally the bottle on the left is confirmation that the conspiracy theorists are
right. NASA is conducting a cover up by pretending to only have got as far as
the moon in 1969. As you can see, this bottle was bottled on Mars in 1934 by
Garnier.
