    Duffy's Malt question

    Duffy's Malt must be about the most common bottle listed on Ebay. Why is it so popular and (I guess) keeps selling? Usually listed @ 2.00 to 9.99. Just curious.

    Case gin bottle mold

    What type of mold would have been used for typical case bottle: square, heavy taper from shoulder to base, finely embossed striations on side panels, and apparent mold line on shoulder to base of applied top. Thanks
