Need bottles; will travel...

The Bovrils and Marmites are always rather neat and the 16 oz versions are quite sought after :

This was also a little meat paste of some sort - pretty little shape ~ lip is not damaged, just rather crudely finished !

You just never know what you will learn on this bottle sight.
Nice little brown bottles. And the blues are very pretty.

Hi Arek, yes they did cost a bit, but I did my homework on them & will - I hope - turn a reasonable profit on them. They were bought for re-sale, although there a few little treasures I might keep !
