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.

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.
