Status: offline 		Ok everyone, here is a picture of me smiling.  Well smiling on the inside anyway. I think I may be onto a pretty good little spot.  Just been running in and out trying not to draw too much attention.  10 minutes today got this little jewel.  A first for me. Had to come straight home to clean 'er up.  Any info would sure be appreciated as to possible value. It has a two inch crack running up from 1/2 inch above the heel in back.  I was still pretty stoked about it the way my digs have been going.  Enjoy.

Status: offline 		sure would appreciate that, Matt.  I cruised over to ebay to see if I could find one.  there are two on right now.  One is perfect with 20 or so hours left, 600 bucks. One is a lip-chipper with over 6 days left and it's at 85 dollars.  I was gonna put mine on to see what she would do but talk about floodin' the market.

Status: offline 		Hi Daniel ,
What a great find ! There are a couple different mold variants of the Casper's  . They come in Clear and Cobalt in the mold you have. With the Clear variants being the rarest of the two colors.
Your variant in mint condition would fetch 500.00 + . Even with the crack .... it will look great in the window. Nice find !

Status: offline 		Thanks for the info Brian.  I gotta get over there and do some more digging.  I've been trying to let the rain run-off do most the work for me.  Hate to get run outta there for digging but whatcha gonna do? It's really killin' me now wondering what else is in there.

Status: offline 		cool bottle, L C, in case Warren doesn't make it back in here, thanks to ebay I can confirm that there is a clear variation of this bottle also.  Thanks to Brian's link I also have learned there is a variant of mine that is missing the e in made, supercool.
Check it out if you get a chance, great link.  Hey Warren, if you get back in here,  I wanted to let you know that since this one has a small crack, I am thinking about making an arrowhead out of the bottom, lol!!! thanks Matt, all I need now is a little crack remover.

Hey L C !
That's a nice 4 cities ..... they are somewhat scarcer than the variant that Dan has . And I have seen them priced in the 1000.00 - 1100.00 range at Shows .
Nice bottle !
