Hi All

Although  I don't collect  anything   pre-1960  (  or  , rather,  more  like   pre-1990)   I am  guessing that there could  be a lot  of  interest   soon in the late  Middle  period   which is  , I assume,  sort  of   1910  - 1930*

*any  input here  from others  more in the know?

Bottles  painted  in this  late  Middle period  do not  seem to be in the  main focus   of the  ICSBS core members,  who     prefer to  collect the  classics  from the   " Main - Middle Period"  i.e.   late  1800's,  so prices  are  still  low  (  US$ 3- 4 K range  with  provenance? )   There  are obviously a finite  number  of  genuine  bottles  in existence  from this  period    therefore  any  such bottle  will  eventually appreciate .  So this could  be a  good area  to   collect, and to  build  up   expertise  on what is genuine and  what is not

( Just  my   10 cents  worth)
