Hi everyone,
So, the John Carbutt bottle sold for 35.00, plus ****pping. I'll be
curious if someone finds a price even higher than that.
As an aside, when bottles (like this one) that are not listed in price
guides are 'discovered', how do they get added to these guides, if at
all? Is there a procedure to it?
Thanks,
