MICRO MINIATURE BOTTLES

When I started collecting miniatures over 20 years ago I came across these unusually small and
intriguing bottles called Micro Miniatures. My first thoughts where “How could one possibly make
such small bottles" and then "how could one fill it as not much liquid would be required". So the
fascination grew from only collecting, Single Malt Distillery Bottling Miniatures to now having over 800
little dinky micro’s. The good thing about micro’s over miniatures is that they take up next to no room
at all so that means one can purchase more and more. This doesn’t mean that they are any cheaper
than a regular miniature bottle, especially a single malt whisky as some ask a price much higher than
your regular miniature. Here are only a few samples from my collection

Below are what you may class as your standard soft drink (fizzy) range. Most were made in
Argentina in the 1970's & 80's.

Some of the more fancy bottles. Most of these are Gold
Seal from the UK in the 1950's.
