Old Contrex water bottle wanted - Found

Old School Hero
I am looking for a period water bottle like the one in this picture.
It says Contrex on the side, a French bottled water company now owned by Nestle. The picture was taken 30 years ago so it is quite old!
Can anyone help?
Dave

well dave, i'd guessed £30 but as you say, they are as rare as hen's teeth.
can i be really sad and ask for a photo of it?! i've never seen one in the flesh
but of course were commonplace in the likes of the 1985 tour de france.

nice purchase!

:cool:

It's always a tricky one when it comes to putting a price on something that you want, especially when it's a rare item. I don't think €32 was over the top and I would have happily paid that had I been looking for one
