"The bottle is in excellent condition. It has an unusual, shortened top which is very smooth and dramatic looking".

Yeah, cut off at the shoulder and ground down is indeed "dramatic".

Yet, it's got a $49 bid on it already. And I'm sorry, but it doesn't appear to be any special color to me, any more than the neck is "special".

wow people will believe anything on the bay. An old timer once told me>you can sell a dead cow on eBay" and hes right!

That is why he has 98.7 % feed back

LOL! Unusual shortened top? It is broken and ground/polished off! What an idiot, both the seller and bidder. But, who bid on it? Poor fool.[8|]

On another note, a quote of the day thread would be nice. One quote per day! We'll see who would have the patience.
