Are you hinting that there is an interesting story here, or genuinely wondering?

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.

But it was only Gonzalez-Byass. Sounds very restrained to me.

I apologise for slanderously under-estimating Morgan Steel & Co. Ltd.
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!

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.
