Tom L,

The ‘Jet’ snuff bottle is one nut I have not cracked mainly due to limited availability and cost.  Although the price paid may seem high, it does not seem unreasonable when compared to prices I’ve seen paid over the last ten years.  As some have indicated the price paid may even be a ‘low estimate value’ if you were to run this bottle through an auction house.  On the provenance note, I hope you requested and get a copy of the YF Yang receipt with this purchase this bottle.
