Copped a squat today..

..a nice clean one, in great shape.. not quite from my "ground zero" of collecting interest, but still within county lines.. I couldn't resist for 15 bucks.. it was next to a regular ole Warner's they wanted 75 for.. and a bunch of other over-priced bots.. ya never know!

Charlie. I knew you would take the Rapp for fifteen bucks. I like the shape of it. I can't think of any exactly like it from here.

What can you get nowadays for $15... Not even a gas tank full!

Great buy!!!!

 

[Dabeel]

Quite a steal Charlie!
Seems like they had the numbers reversed on the blob and the Warner's
Good Eye!

For $15 that squat purchase was a no brainer. Even though I live 100 miles away from Keyport, and know nothing about that bottle, I would've snatched it in a heartbeat. It just has "the look" if you know what I mean. Sometimes you get a sixth sense about a bottle and the one you found is a definate keeper (or seller as the case may be). Years ago I picked up a JOHN COPES / CHISELHURST, N.J. aqua squat for $5 at a local garage sale. Found out it was worth about $80. Still have that bottle today and smile on the rare occassions I get to look at it. Anyway, congrats on a super find. Its hard to match the feeling when a bott comes up that you just know is just an absolute steal. Best regards.

Hey, thanks for the responses, everyone! []

Regarding display space, although my wife is remarkably tolerant, even starting to get into the hobby just a bit.. space really is at a premium in this little apartment, so a nice new acquisition like this will send an inferior specimen to the boxes..
