Thanks Paul.  Yes, I agree, but if it's taken this long for one to become known, I think it's unlikely that another is likely to appear any time soon.  But I suppose, you never know. They could be like buses...
I know it often happens in the coin world, especially when metal detectorists find hoards and flood the market.

it's true that some of these hoards (probably the Roman ones in particular) consist of thousands of coins, but suppose you could look at it from the point of view that it brings down the cost of such coins that the less affluent of us can then afford to buy the odd one.       I once found a hoard of silver threepenny pieces - Edwardian I think - all three of them :)  -  but my best coin was probably a gothic florin from 1872 - beautiful design and in nearly fine condition - we don't make coins like that any more, and they were 92 per cent silver to boot.      But 1905 half crowns eluded me, sadly.
We are probably borderline being kicked into the café with this line of chat  -  must desist immediately ;)

I would suspect that it is more finding this moulded bottle with all the extra paper, metal and cork bits is unique, but the moulded bottle itself is highly unlikely to be unique.
Mould making is expensive and time consuming.
