eBay currently has a couple of interesting collections on offer that I’ll highlight in a second post, but first I wanted to thank Ed Sipos (azsaloon on eBay) for giving me a heads up on a rare enamel transfer glass that he’d picked up in a “best offer” back in August of last year.
The original listing page is no longer available, but here’s a snibbet:
The glass was listed by collectiblesbytim and was among 25 or so glasses that the seller dropped into the ‘Bay in the recent months.
These enamel transfer glasses are super-rare and super-desirable to hardcore collectors. I’ve seen the Old Blackthorn only four times now and have yet to add one to my own collection. The example in the database is (was ?) owned by Kevin Wade, plus I’ve seen 3 more offered on eBay (including the one featured here).
The end-of-auction page showed that Ed picked it up for $99.99 or less, which is fifteen-fold less than a previous example sold for in open auction. Nice find and thanks to Ed for getting in touch!
In the past 28 days, 196 pre-pro glasses have listed on eBay. Of these, 133 failed to attract a bidder, but the average price of the glasses that did sell was $53.94.
