Thank you all for your comments.

There was no "well done", just luck as I really had no sense of what I was buying, it was just a nice shelf filler at the time that joined a varied selection of cheap items that appealed.

Tom/Wattana answered another post I put up that matched my recollections of buying back then. General dealers who didn't specialise in any area might end up with a bottle or two that they knew nothing about and simply wanted to move on at some profit so you could find good bottles for very little if you were lucky, and all involving a nice day out before the days of the internet.

Regards all, Adrian.
