Not sure if these are the ones you're after, but I noted these (specifically code 0038-06) from previous searches and I think may be ones that have been bought by people on TPF previously?

Sadly only available in the US - I couldn't find any equivalent in the UK, so I recently ordered some of these, but will also obtain some of the SKS plastic ones if I get the chance, as they would seem more ideal for weight/breakage risk etc.

Before you go buying those, might I suggest we consider buying a smaller number of glass bottles with proper lids? I found the lovely F60 take-away leaked unless kept absolutely upright, and traded some of the varnish for a different bottle odor. It was still good, don't get me wrong :) but it never was able to clear itself of the excess odors.

I am sure, with a little hunting, we can find some suitable glass at a chemistry supply house.

Yeah, I eventually left it in a glass all night, it was much improved by breakfast (+36h)

PhilW’s searching was correct: I bought a total of 192 plastic bottles from SKS, as discussed in the thread Small bottles to hold tasting samples.
