The Australian Bottle Collector by Stephen Proh complete with Price Guide. Ephemera Magazine Bottle Collectors Book. 240 mm high. 1970s
Good. A collectors item in its own right, one of the first Aussie bottle collecting books produced, there is no date on this, but it was early 1970s. Some discolouration to the cover. Bottom corner has been cut on cover and first page. Holes in cover and first series of pages where it has been bound in a folder, the edges of these holes have ripped in places. Some wear through cover too. Some writing on cover. The lower staple has separated from the cover, it is still attached by the upper staple. Some stains to be found, some folds and bends to be found. The price guide is amazing - a quick look reveals an amber lip reliance patent from Hobbs of Kyneton listed at $20, a Weld Hotel hybrid from WA at $45, then the likes of a Lager Beer for $35. Some have gone up a lot more than others in price! There is some writing in the price guide as well. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 55
