Up
for
grabs
is
a
bulk
lot
of
five
assorted
antique
collectable
sauce/chutney/pickle
bottles.
That's
just $3
per
bottle
(plus
postage)!
I'm
sure
that
everyone
has
heard
that
saying
about
all
Australian
boys
needing
a
shed
-
well
a
shed
(or
in
Dad's
case, six
sheds!)
aren't
much
use
when
you
can't
get
passed
the
open
door.
Dad's
been
collecting
bottles
for
about
thirty-plus
years
now
and,
like
most
collectors, has
amassed
literally
thousands
- some
top
class,
many
more the
run
of
the
mill,
common
varieties. But
Mum
has
now
declared
that
Dad
absolutely
has
to
clear
some
space,
otherwise
she
will
do
the
clearing
herself!
That
means
bargains
are
up
for
grabs.
Because
there
are
so
many,
we've
decided
simply
to
list
them
as
bulk
"lucky
dip"
lots
in
an
effort
to
clear
them
in
a
hurry
-
to
list
each
one
individually
would
be
one
monumental
task!
This
lot
includes
five
assorted
sauce/chutney/pickle
bottles,
selected
from
those
available,
Obviously
we
can't
provide
an
in
depth
description
of
the
condition
and
age
of
each
bottle,
but
as
an
indication
most
have
been
either
dig
or
found
under
old
houses.
We
will
guarantee,
however,
that
all
the
bottles
will:
- date
from
C.
1880-1920
(unless
a
later
date
is
specifically
requested);
- be
applied
top,
NOT
machine
made
(unless
specifically
requested)
- be
in
very
good
condition
or
better
-
ie:
there
may
be
the
odd
flea
bite,
tiny
chip,
small
flake,
small
bruise,
minor
rubbing
or
wear,
or
light
scratching/scuffing,
but
we
guarantee
no
large
chips,
definately
no
cracks
whatsoever
and
certainly
nothing
that
looks
like
it
has
just
come
through
a
war
zone!
Because
postage
is
dependant
upon
weight
and
destination,
we
are
also
unable
to
provide
a
postage
costing
or
estimate until
we
know
exactly
what
you
want
and
where
its
going.
However,
rest
assured
that
we
do
not
seek
to
make
money
from
postage
in
any
way,
shape
or
form,
so
what
you
pay
for
postage
will
be
what
it
costs
us.
Because
of
the
potential
package
size/weight
factor,
we
are
may
not
be
able
to undertake
to
combine
postage
on
more
than
one
of
these
lots
unless
they
happen
to
be
smaller
sized
bottles,
although
you
are
more
than
welcome
to
buy
other
items
from
our
listings
and
add
them
to
the
package
for
a
combined
postage
total.
Just
ask
and
we'll
let
you
know
whether
it's
possible.
These
bulk
lots
would
be
perfect
for
the
beginner
collector,
those
with
a
bit
more
than
a
passing
interest
in
antiques
&
collectables,
someone
who
wants
something
to
put
on
the
mantle
piece,
decor
additions,
dressing
for
a
bar,
market
stall
holders or
even
the
online
reseller who
has
the
time
to
relist
enerything
individually.
Check
out
the
images
on
this
and
my
other
listings
to
get
an
idea
of
the
types
of
bottles likely to
be included in
these
bulk
lots,
and
if
you
have
any
queries,
please
don't
hesitate
to
ask.
Postage:
Non
breakable
items
(for
example,
clothing) are
dispatched
in
either
500
g
or
3
kg
satchels,
depending
on
weight, and there
is
no
surcharge
for
multiple
purchases
in
the
one
package.
Breakable
items
(for
example,
bottles
&
collectables)
are
bubble
wrapped,
padded
and
boxed,
with
postage
costs
calculated
on
weight
and
destination,
as
per
Australia
Post
costs.
Again
there
is
no
surcharge
on
multiple
purchases
in
the
one
package.
This
can
save
the
buyer
$$$,
so
don't
forget
to
check
out
my
other
listings
-
you
never
know
just
what
you

possibly
live
without! Don't

-
loads
more
antiques
&
collectables,
women's
and
children's
clothing and
other
goodies up
for
grabs. I
am
always
willing
to
combine
postage
to
save
you
money.
Remember
-
buying
more
than
one
item
means
you
save
on
postage
costs
-
I
only
charge
for
one
lot
of
postage
and
packing
no
matter
how
many
items
you
buy!
