this is the blue and white ceramic Calera Reposado. This is
another 50ml bottle and is in perfect condition. US$30 bought it.

The wording for the bottle on the left stated “Rare Olmeca
Tequila Gold Mini Bottle. The bottle is in great condition and is
embossed on the sides and back, 1940s.” Anyone collecting
minis in NZ in the 1980’s would recognise this bottle as you
could buy it anywhere, together with a ‘Silver.’
Take what you read on Ebay with ‘a pinch of salt.’
Do the same with your Tequilas of course! The
bottle sold for a US$5.50 minimum bid.

I hope that the person who bought the Espolon
mini Tequila, shown on the right, was happy with
their purchase. It does not show up this small but it is clearly
shown on the label to be a 750ml bottle and the proportions
support this. As it was sold as 50ml one can only assume that the
seller was too lazy to take a photo. Hopefully the buyer did not
purchase it thinking he was buying a rare label variation. US$9.00

Porfidio has a cactus blown into
the bottom of the bottle. This is one
of several Porfido bottles with cacti
but the only one I have seen this
shape. Bidding was brisk and it
sold for US$18.01

Unusually, Coll 62
Tequila comes from
Palma de Mallorca. It is
also unusual being a
flask, not something you
see often with Tequila in.
I forgot to write down the
selling price but thought
that you might like to see
this obviously very old bottle
anyway.

The Don Julio bottles both were being sold with a
US$8.99 minimum bid and both failed to sell at least
twice.

More Tequilas another time......
