cigar cutter and match holder. Again this seemed to sell cheaply at £20.00. The J&B Scotch bottle is
Sterling Silver. That alone would make it expensive but nobody wanted to buy it at US$451. It has
been relisted then relisted again at US$390 but still it did not sell.

About time we had a few straights and we start with four Scotches.

Glenglassaugh single malt is 5cl 40% and sold for £94.99. Gilbeys Spey Royal is said to be empty,
however it did sell but only for US$7.50. McCallum's Perfection is another empty (possibly!) Scotch.
US$17.49 bought it after 6 bids. Unfortunately the King William IV VOP Scotch did not sell, even for
the asked for minimum bid of US$7. The obviously empty Suntory Rare Old Island Whisky No.3 sold
well - US$29 -after 10 bids.

The three Bourbon flasks all sold
well, despite being empty (yes,
these really are). G&W (1928)
US$39 after 10 bids, Golden
Pond (1936) US$52.33 after 8
bids and Manhattan Club (1937)
US$57 after 8 bids.

The final bottle is a pipe and ashtray from Suvenir of Argentina,
containing whisky. US$13 bought it after 8 bids but the postage cost
of US$15.80 must have affected how much was bid.
