I found one of those at a flea market in Houston about 8 years ago and bought it for $50. Iron pontil, cobalt blob top, near mint. I didn't know how rare they are so I put it on ebay starting at 49.99 with no reserve. Some NC collectors emailed me wanting to Buy it Now and one was honest enough to inform me that a dug specimen had sold at a bottle show for over a grand. I let the auction run and it sold for over $1200. The NC collectors were too tight to buy it, the bottle went to Oregon.
Some of you who have been around awhile might remember that. I don't know what it would sell for now, maybe less because nobody seems to have any money to spend on bottles with the economy the way it is.

Ouch, Chris. So stinking close, too. I know this horrible feeling all too well. I dug this in 2007, shortly after I found out that this bottle existed...

Over two years later, I finally got my chance. This one came up for auction, and I brought it home for $770. I hope it's less than two years until you find that Robinson. You'll get one. Good luck, bro! ~Jim
