I just registered today. I'm new to collecting (about 1 year) and have been reading this forum for a few weeks. I'm hoping one of you "Experts" can help me. I found someone selling the bottle. It has Mobiloil with the gargoyle on 4 sides has the cap and says Filpruf. It also has a white thin wire carrying case. Any idea of what this is worth?

If it is the real thing, and I don't know of any fakes, it's worth a lot. A one gallon Filpruf bottle sold at the GPM auction last year for $3500 plus the 10% penalty.

Hi Wads what is the selling price??The lowest price I saw was 3 years ago $1800.00 no wire holder.A couple sold for $2200 to $2600 in the last couple years .
The GPM auction price set a new record I believe.Let us know how you make out on you purchase.Rex

Thanks to everyone for the help. The asking price is $2000. Hmmm, what to do, what to do?
I guess my first step is to make my wife breakfast, take her shopping and then bring this up in casual conversation.

Try posting in the ‘want to buy section’. You might have better luck.
