These all to a collector who specifically wants bottles with "Pretoria" on them. For those (most) who don't know, Pretoria is the Executive capital of South Africa, but our new "esteemed" government intend changing its name to "Tshwane" Go figure ! This name change will, however, make things with "Pretoria" on worth more .
Consider what would happen if your government simply changed Washington DC to "Bush" or "Obama" !!!Yes, well ...!

Dale, you should auction them off here in the USA and offer free shipping, cause you happen to be headed this way, cause they paid for your ticket.. oh yeah but then there's the luggage surcharges.. it's always something isn't it..
