Title: rare slider Post by: GreenMo on October 25, 2015, 08:42:57 pm This was an interesting listing on ebay.
A Dad's Ideal 300 i believe. http://www.ebay.com/itm/201451246029 Title: Re: rare slider Post by: Creighton on October 26, 2015, 01:34:52 am Thanks for taking the time to share! Item has sold. Best to post pictures of the item rather than the link. It will expire when eBay purges sold items.

But if someone paid $500 for an incomplete Ideal 300, it must have been embossed. Watch for another Dad's 55 to be born................. (or maybe a VMC 81?)

It sure does not look to be embossed, but if it is. and looking at the location I would bet that Jack (Coca-Cola cowboy) picked this one up and it will be made into a Dad's VMC 81 for sure.. :glare:But if someone paid $500 for an incomplete Ideal 300, it must have been embossed.

Last year I saw a listed Barq's Embossed Ideal 85! And just yesterday somebody found a Squirt Embossed 85! Title: Re: rare slider Post by: Troy S on October 31, 2015, 10:16:50 pm It's back on eBay!
Title: Re: rare slider Post by: Chedki on November 01, 2015, 12:46:28 pm Seller of the Dad's slider said it is embossed.
Title: Re: rare slider Post by: mygoose101 on November 01, 2015, 02:04:05 pm I wonder if the embossing is the same size as the 55? If it is could we be seeing a restored Dad's 55 pop up in a few months? Hope not!
