J U S T FOR OPENERS OCT 2 013 - JAN 2014 ISSU E #138PAGE 24“Opener and eBay Trivia” (“BIN” Buy-It-Now & “DNMR” Did Not Meet Reserve)A few newsletters back a decision was made to only showhigher amount results but to get a decent number I haveincluded just about anything of note above $5.00 and evensome under that amount if they are good openers. Overallthis six month period still had some really nice openersand a few good corkscrews. Ebay’s continued change toan Amazon Auction site for new items is slowly pushingcollectibles aside. Ebay still is the number one place tosell something and get good value and will remain so for afew more years. I have certainly seen a drop in sellerswith good items on eBay and the number of new openersbeing sold just keeps growing. The following result commentsshow otherwise with some really good openerchanging hands.A-004-999, Drink Coca-Cola In Bottles, 4, $152.50A-013-006, Lemp Var B, 6, $61.99A-013-017, Schell Deer Brand, 4, $100.00An A-4 Coca-Cola without a town name is in the ball parkat $152.50. With a town name it would be $200-300. Acouple of A-13 beer cars and prices were fair to good.Beer cars are not easy to find. Early last year I had to pay$266.99 for a A-13-17 Schell’s car in really nice condition.Condition almost always controls the price.A-021-110, Daniels (Case of 100), 10, $320.00A-021-999, Coca-Cola (Case of 100 Repros), 10,$320.00A-021-999, Coca-Cola (Repro), 6, $14.95<strong>Just</strong> about every issue I have to comment about reproductionopeners. The Jack Daniels is not a reproduction butmade in the mid to late 1990s so basically a new opener. Iwould value it and the Coca-Cola repro opener $2-3 eachand to buy 100 at one time seems a little crazy.A-025-001, Hamms, 8, $128.01A-039-003, Pabst, 8, $125.00A-040-002, Exlcelsior, 4, $83.69The bottle shaped A-25 Hamms never goes cheap when itis great condition and this one did well. A-39 turtle openersare again not easy to find and this one was in greatcondition. The A-40 high relief brass lady was only ingood condition but $83.69 is really cheap. It usually sellsin the $150-250 range.A-059-001, Providence, 6, $177.50A-999-999, (Chevrolet Car & Tree) OK Sales GiddingsTX, 4, $102.50The A-59 Providence is the easiest of the “Big 3” RhodeIsland figurals to find and this one brought a fair marketvalue. The Chevrolet car and tree figural can bring goodmoney but this one was in fair to good condition. It is thefirst one I have seen with Texas advertising.B-002-018, Iroquois Wurzburger, 6, $122.50B-002-035, Hussa Bangor, 6, $100.99Both of the B-2 brass keys are in the ball park for pricing.The Bangor opener has sold for much more but many exampleshave sold the last couple of years.B-011-001, Seattle (Missing Potlatch Symbol), 4,$26.60B-011-001, Seattle Rainier Var A, 6, $149.99B-11 “Potlatch” openers appear from time to time missingthe enameled symbol and generally sell for $20-30. Anaverage condition opener with the “Potlatch” symbol soldfor $149.99 and that is in the middle of the normal rangefor value.B-018-154, Old Lockport, 6, $158.50B-018-228, Stoeckle, 6, $194.28B-018-504, Dotterweich, 8, $238.00B-018-999, Dr Pepper Oklahoma Territory, 8,$1,088.50B-018-UL, Dostal Brewing (w/ 1 Misc), 6, $47.09B-018-UL, Dostal Brewing Gilt Edge Beer, 6,$193.50B-018-UL, Los Angeles Brewing Co, 6, $28.50B-018-UL, Loyalhanna Brewing Latrobe PA, 4,$78.78B-018-UL, Yough Brewing Beer Best In TheWorld, 6, $45.99A bunch of nice B-18s sold the last two quarters and thereal eye opener is the B-18 Dr Pepper from the OklahomaTerritory selling for $1,088.50. The condition was excellentand helped drive the price through the roof. Some ofthe ULs (Unlisted) openers went cheap but as always theright brewery name can mean the difference between $5-10 and several hundred dollars.B-021-036, Becks, 8, $63.65B-021-036, Becks, 8, $88.00B-021-096, Becks, 8, $133.59B-021-108, Hammond, 6, $108.18B-021-112, Independent, 6, $202.50B-021-157, Buffalo Co-Op, 6, $139.15B-021-471, Red Lodge, 6, $180.50B-021-999, Coca-Cola Jackson TN, 6, $123.50B-022-UL, Iowa Brewery Erlanger Beer, 6, $191.49B-022-UL, Michigan Brewery, 2, $20.73Another nice selection of hard B-21s.
