      Yes, but they are not made anymore so supply and demand takes over.

I think that is too high also.  I have noticed these starting to go up in price but more in the 100 dollar range.

As Moondawg mentioned, there was a limited run of them and unless they do another run, the supply/demand argument is valid.  I was fortunate to find one on ebay about a year ago for about $150, which is close to the new price for it.  I use it and a couple of other repros for rod runs and picnics.

At $200 plus shipping, how bad do you want one?

I also think it's pretty high. I'm If someone is willing to spend that much on a repro, they'd be better off waiting and buying a nice original.

      You won't find an original in the 6 pack size though.

Very cool and yes if your a collector and that the one you needed then  yes you had better grab it.
and for the Blue i think it is a blue plastic film to protect the inside.   like a sheet of stainless steel smile

Yes, I figured so,, was trying an attempt at humor (but as my wife says, "stop attempting, your not funny")
