Did a little creative photoshoping as I didn't feel like setting all this up again. Almost cant tell it's a collage of all the other images.

On top: This is an unusual bottle. Has the body of a KR-27, but the top is a screw topper (not cap) with glass topper. I cant accurately ID this one. Next are all the KU-17s. Some are rarer than others, but as a collection, very rare. Then there is the amber KC-49.

On bottom: KU-22, KU-10, KU-4, KO-1, KU-18 in amber, KR-50.
Seems to be the unusual shapes are the most desirable.

Thank you. We love this hobby. That one is the 3.5" KU-17. The most common of the 5 sizes. You hardly ever see the others. Will never see the 8" as 2 are in private collections and the 3rd is in a museum in the UK. But we can dream.....

The KR-50 on a good day is $400. Right now, with things, you could pick it up for about $250 depending on who you have to bid against. (good for buyers, bad for sellers. but thats the market right now). That's about what we paid for ours. Dont know exaclty, the chart is on the wifes puter. It was the first we have seen and had to pounce on it. Labels are always good to add value. Recession asside, $400 is what would be stated for replacement value.
