Hi George,

Nothing to be sad about in them being newer bottles as I had no preconceptions of them being of any particular age and the prices I paid make it easier to gain pleasure from them than had I been lead to believe they were something they weren't and so may have overpaid for them.

What was nice about the two milk glass bottles was that they were bought from either collectable fairs or shops. I handled them before I bought them and handling them was an important part of deciding if I wanted to buy them. Finding snuff bottles then meant a trip out, sometimes a day out, with my girlfriend, visiting a new town and finding a nice pub to eat in.

Whilst the internet, ebay and online auctions are a boon for snuff bottle collectors with a choice of thousands of different bottles available at the click of a button, the sad thing is I've bought about 70 bottles over the past year since I rekindled my interest in them but I never handled a single one before buying it.

Regards,

Adrian
