WOAH!!!! It ended for more than I expected.......http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330683604620
I do not now own one, I have had two or three over the years. They are indeed scarce but, in my opinion, not rare. They hold their price / value because they cross catagories. I have had local (northern Idaho & Eastern Washington) collections going two or three times but the natives (I've been here only 32 years) are very possesive / territorial and accept outsiders reluctantly. I get a decent local collection going and then get shut out or ripped off or held up for something I need to complete a run. They HATE to see local stuff go out of the area so when I sold my last stuff to Western Washingtin collectors they had a fit and I swore off Idaho bottles. I wanted an even rarer local Idaho hutch, one of the local collectors had three spares and told me he wouldn't sell it or trade it to me for a million dollars. He lives in a ratty single wide trailer in a gully. Independant types up here. I'm 73, have a bad back and can't dig anymore so I depend on buying / trading.ORIGINAL: slag pile digger
I assume that means that you have one in your collection? Would love to see a PIC of it! Thanks Michael
