Hey, there's a Daddyslide "special bronze", which is I believe essentially brass...just slight variant in composition. Very nice!
It is 59 x 20.5 x 3.5. Plenty heavy!

Hi Lew, do you think there are any there that I would be interested in?

I prefer metal but am tempted to bring some glass back into the collection.

Hey Ryan, yeah I'll have a look through for you man. I'll send you a message. Been a long couple days so I'm a bit behind. As if it needs mentioning, do yourself a favour and don't leave your car keys in the office once it's locked and secure for the night whilst being 45 miles away from home at 8pm! Lesson learnt!

Cheers

Hey Ken, I'm afraid the only glass bullet left in his collection is a bit of a rare bird and he wants to keep it. All photos and sizes of the rest coming tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Cheers,
Lew

Hey all, I have finally added pictures, dimensions and prices of what is left. I'm afraid the daddyslides and all but one DB Ultimates have already gone.

The cobalt blue slides were all cut and polished by Ian McWee of Diamond Bottlenecks, however they do still have their seams apart from one (Aqua Della Madonna), which is de-seamed, described and priced accordingly.

The Aqua Della Madonna slide is essentially the same as the much coveted and sought after "original" Blue Diamond slides having been cut from the same type of water bottle, but with a different brand on the label. Best to quiz Ian himself if this interests you.

The Orchid Vale slides are what Diamond Bottlenecks often used in their early days for their blue "Original" and "Redhouse" options, so again kinda collectible (and near impossible to find now) if you're into slides as much as me!

Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions etc and I'll do my best to respond quickly 👍

Cheers
Lewis

Nice collection but they are a little on the long side for me.

Has the tone bar from the picture you sent on Skype gone?
