It was the sort of steel company that had bought 100 dozen of ’63 Port. How many other core skills did they have, I wonder.djewesbury wrote:Are you hinting that there is an interesting story here, or genuinely wondering?

From the same auction by Christie, Manson & Woods, on 6 November 1975, lots 381 to 389 comprised another 39 dozen of the same, except duty paid, and sold at £19 and £19.50 per dozen.

Oh, prices? You want to know what they cost? You don’t. Really, you don’t.
Behold, and weep!

Re: Christie’s auctions
That means that I have typed all the Christie’s data I have, which is for auctions ≤1977. There will be one more day of photographing, partly to retake some imperfectly taken the first time (oops!), and partly to get to auctions in the nineteen eighties.
And that, I declare, will be enough data. Or too much.
