NZMBC Miniature Bottle Collector Magazine
Miniature Bottle Collector (MBC) Magazine was published from 1974 - 2005. These scans are reproduced by kind permission of the owner, David Spaid. Back copies are still availiable of most issues and these are maked in the text below. There is a 10% discount for 6 or more. To order back copies please make a note of the ones you want then . Include your postal address. He will get back to you with a cost inclusive of postage and how to pay. The paper copies are of a higher quality than these scans - I wouldn't be without them.
Note: It takes time to do all the scanning so not all issues are currently on line - but they will be. There were 184 issues in total and so far there are 117 on line. Check back often.
