“Made by Honest North Carolina People”
Jim Hagenbuch and crew had two nice examples of cobalt blue Casper Whiskey bottles in their Glass Works Auction #97 that closed this past Monday night. What I liked was that one example was the more common “Made by Honest North Carolina People” while the second example was the rarer “four-cities” variant. The North Carolinal example sold for $400 without the auction house premiun. The four-cities variant sold for $1,000 without the premium.
