Rare Pikes Peak GXI-4

[rraack]

I know where there is a reasonably priced Pikes Peak GXI-4 for sale, extremely rare according to Eatwell's book on Pike's Peak Flasks. Unfortunately I can't justify buying it for myself because I'm short on funds to make all the remaining tuition payments for my daughters college education this year. If any of you are interested in it, I may buy it for resale. It's the one that has a traveler with a crooked cane and a plain back in 'greenish' aqua with a crude top. The flask has nice early glass character, is very clean and there are no condition issues, I would call it 'very-very' close to mint (9.8 on a scale of 10) I've been collecting for over 30 years and am very picky about condition issues. If any of you are interested in it for $240.00 plus $10 shipping let me know, and I will buy it and pass it on.

I considered buying the flask to list on eBay. Does anyone have a good sense of what the GXI-4 might actually be worth?

Not sure what one would bring today (in that we have relatively few "mold collectors today - most of the boys are looking for color) but I would gamble on the piece and offer an even $300 to pay for your time.

Does that sound fair to you Bob?

Thanks Kungfufighter,

Your offer is very good and accepted. I'll follow through with the purchase. I'll PM you

Regards, Bob
