Anyone have a grand they wish to loan us so we can fit one more piece into the hole this bottle is leaving in our set?

19 hours left on this and it's just driving my wife and I insane. 

A little back story on this bottle.  When we first got started on poisons, my wife read an article about this bottle found in a rubbish dump in England, a little boy holding the bottle was pictured.  In the article it was mentioned there were only 4 known, 1 being in a museum in England.

WELL....  when I read the description the seller placed with this bottle, it sounded very familiar.  So I wrote to him, telling him about the article my wife found.  Come to find out...this IS the bottle that the article was about.  This is the digger of the bottle and his son is the one pictured holding it.

So, not only is this a bottle that we have been on the quest for, for about 4 years now, it's the very bottle that got us on that quest.   And right now, with who I believe are competing for this bottle, we don't have a chance.  I could bet my entire paycheck for this and I don't think we would win.

Ironically, a bottle of the same size was on several months ago, and only sold for $800 - $900.  It's now at 1K and who knows where it will land when the buzzer sounds.  I just wish it was us at the top of the winners board....but it looks like we get to watch another of our holy grails pass us by yet again.

Ok, enough whining.  Just needed to vent...
