Hi Rube,

On a first quick look it seems good to me. I like the side with the cat best, it looks pretty well fed which seems to be the way they portray them.

I saw that one come up and liked it but I have been very lucky in picking bottles up at very good prices so I am very mean with my bidding which I will have to address as I miss out on good bottles at reasonable prices. There has been little coming up recently so what has been good has been getting good prices.

I had hoped to get 5 IP bottles today that were part of a lot of 10 bottles in a regional auction. All 10 were in one picture so you couldn't make out any signatures but they looked like 5 good middle period bottles with 2 looking like Ye family but clearly others had checked signatures as they went for over 10 times low estimate at £5,400 hammer price. You can get lucky at these smaller auctions but not today for me.

Regards, Adrian.
