Mmm, Head, the word "grin" should have appeared there between those "quote" marks... |

Yeah, Head, you're a Greek at heart... |

The plate is fairly scarce, but the more interesting item is the rare Absinthe Bailly tapis de cartes in the background... |

well the less damaged one is only selling for 49 euro, so maybe the plates aren't that valuable if the seller is accepting such a low price. |

Here's another one, and it won't be cheap.

it reads:
'aujourd'hui l'absinthe est fade comme un lait de poule! tout dégénère.-et nous aussi.'
(today absinthe is as tasteless as chicken's milk!
everything degenerates.-and us, too.)
not political, just a couple of old farts complaining about the quality of their absinthe, in the usual, not so funny turn of the century french joke tradition....
it IS a really beat up old plate...but it's kind of cool that the guy is using a siphon to make his absinthe... |

I had an inkling to make a bid, but I couldn't get past the chunks and chips missing in at least 6 different areas. OH yea...and not shipping internationally made it a bit tough. |

It looks like the seller would not ship internationally. That's a big (often not very savvy) market eliminated. |

If I drank a bottle of 65 and pissed it back in the bottle what would that be worth? I'll start the bidding at 20 pounds british sterling..........any takers? |

How about Nascar drivers running over WWE superstars? I wonder how much a plate like that would fetch.
I can see the caption now... "WWE, running faster than you've ever seen em run before!" |

Yes, because it's a beat to shit old plate.
And there ain't no Nascar drivers on it
or WWE Superstars. |

Any guesses? It seems to be much more valuable than the winning bid suggests.
Could it be that the seller had it listed as "l'absinthe" with an "l", whereas most of us do eBay searches for "absinthe"? Or is it the damage that reduced its value?
Wish I'd known about this auction! The man in blue looks just like Bismarck. Perhaps it's a political cartoon? |
