The wife said she saw one stolen for 350 on Ebay. I have a bud who bought one for $800 and sold it for $1000 and I have seen them sell for as much as 1200 bucks. It all depends on the market. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to glass man) Post #: 5

RE: My best find!!!! - 7/18/2008 4:51:56 PM    beendiggin Posts: 915 Joined: 6/30/2005 Status: offline That's why digging a 1920's or newer dump is a good idea.  This is the kind of find you're looking for!   Great find, I had no idea they were worth that much.  I've never seen one before. Where were they made and for how long I wonder? (in reply to Tony14) Post #: 17

RE: My best find!!!! - 7/18/2008 4:58:27 PM    Wilkie Posts: 493 Joined: 5/2/2008 From: Suisun City, CA Status: offline Because of the shape I'm betting a lot of these got broken, I can imagine trying to get peanut butter out of there and trying to hold onto it with the other hand, it was probably a cumbersome task.  Or were these made strictly as promotional items without the pb inside? _____________________________ www.myspace.com/westernbottles I buy samples, Jamaica Gingers from anywhere and Northern California hutches, blob tops.
