1st time user!!! Help me please!!! - 10/21/2005 1:08:53 AM    mereana   Posts: 2 Joined: 10/21/2005 Status: offline Kia ora from Whangarei, New Zealand. Please forgive me as I have never done anything like this before let alone ask anything about bottles so I'm quite in the dark about this so please bear with me. Every year, Aucklanders have an inorganic run. This is when all your inorganic rubbish can be put on the kerbside and it will be picked up and taken away. About 10 years ago, I was rummaging around in someone's rubbish where I picked up a box of Miniature Alcohol bottles. I ended up with 41 bottles, 10 of which are Wynand Fockink. Some of these bottles still have the liquid inside. I can't find any dates on the bottles except for the establishment (I think) date which says 1679??? Some bottles are round and green and have a "B" on the bottom. Some are white and square and one is round and clear and has a "B" on the bottom. As soon as I get my hands on a digi cam I will post photos but in the meantime, can anyone help with history etc and a value? Thank you and I look forward to hearing from someone in the very near future. Mereana Post #: 1

Hopefully someone will be able to give me more information regarding these bottles. I guess when I am able to post photos, that should give others more of a better understanding of my bottles.

So that doesn't help much with the age of the bottles. If you can post pix, people can tell you more... Welcome to the forum! (in reply to mereana) Post #: 4
