It isn’t every day that this rare and desirable pulp item surfaces. I’ve seen these described as cookie jars, too. The closed features, size and extant lid make this a real show piece. I remember some very optimistic seller tried to unsuccessfully sell another example some years back for $10,000. This isn’t in that price league, for sure, although this listing could reach close to $1,000. The market on eBay is strange these days since eBay unilaterally and imprudently changed the way they categorized holiday items. Who really knows what this will bring? I know a broad swath of collectors that have migrated away from eBay. I don’t feel there are as many eyes on these prizes as there were at the beginning of the year.
