I found a "hamster bottle" on ebay last winter. It's a repop and has the TUDOR logo on it. I finally got it installed last week after getting the bracket painted and it looks nice.

Good point, I think this type of bottle has been NLA for many years. The other thing I like about these bottles is they are slightly smaller, I always thought the original was slightly too large and hence got knarled taking it out to fill it. Must be where the patina comes from!

But Simon, there is no 'patina' on the bottles on the left!!

Nice find though, I just hope the host doesn't axe this thread for fear of competition!

Working at Micron recently and noticed the bottle they use for cleaner solution, looked remarkably like the mini washer bottle. Did a quick search and found the bottles at the link below ($18 for 12!):

http://www.sks-bottle.com/340c/fin51.html

The bottle on the left is a NOS washer bottle some crazy fool paid and undisclosed amount for on eBay, the middle bottle is the 500ml SKS and the right is the typical used bottle many of us have in our cars. Compare and contrast:
