Glenn Strange Candy bucket Question

[Monster Bob]

in the Hake's auction it mentions there was a resin replica in the 80's? Anyone else know about this or have seen this?

They are talking about the resin "head speaker" copy that Keith Sarno. For the money people want for it, buy a real bucket head.

$500 seems like plenty to start for the Hake's bucket, considering it is missing the handle, plus there seems to be a problem with the front of the bucket lip, above the forehead, like the hole has been widened or something and is now sinking in. Honestly, it is a common enough piece, and there are so many better examples out there, I would hold off (*at*) $500+.

Did you really expect to get so lucky that you'd find the real prizes at a yard sale someplace for a buck or two?

I just didn't know it was at that level. I knew it was worth a bit but $500 to start? ANd yes i do expect to find him at a yard sale.lol!

Thanks Bob. I can always count on you for great info.

I paid a little over $500 for mine, but it has the handle and good paint.  I think you can expect to pay over $500 for one at this point, but like Bob said; I would hold out for a better one at that price.

Ya it's a rough one. If i was gonna spend that kinda dough it would be for a nice copy. One thing i noticed is this ones color painted on it was different than ones i've seen pictures of. Most i've seen just have the slim green  dry brush across the front face. I'm kinda wondering what all colors it came in?

Horror101....Hep is just wishing he could get to Kansas....they keep turning him back at the Canadian border........ha!       Buddy

I know for a fact this is untrue. After all, if YOU had a chance to deport that demented cat, wouldn't you DO it?

You have no chance of finding one in Kansas now that Missdead has joined Bigbud in vacuuming up anything cool in the immediate area.

And I am looking as well. I hit ALOT of garage sales and estate sales around here, so if I find more than one I will share.

I've had a dry spell for a while something big is gonna happen soon. I can feel it!

not even one bid on the bucket at Hake's. looks like everyone is feeling for that one it's a little pricey.
