Dear Joey,

Thank you, I've had worse news than you've given  Grin

It was another ebay purchase with a "Buy it now or best offer" and a 30 day auction period. I put in an offer very soon after it was listed, even though good Realgar bottles fetch far higher prices at auction, and I was going to go back and accept the "Buy it now price" as I thought it was reasonable but saw it was sold. It was only the next day when I checked my emails that I saw it had sold to me  Shocked

The mouth opening is very narrow, just under 5mm, whereas I thought earlier bottles tended to have wider mouths ? but it shows a lot of wear from use.

Regards, Adrian.
