A member had one for sale on here a while back not sure the price think it was north of 1k

#4

Yup sold on here for $1500 i believe

#5

They are fairly rare. I believe they made less than 1000 of them . Value is subjective but I feel they are worth more than Beanos

I have one that is missing the ring and pin and was offered $1,500 and passed because I’m not sure when I will ever find another one.

 

Not sure how many are still out there but I haven’t seen 1/2 dozen of them in 10 years of looking.

 

The one posted looks like a very nice example. If it was offered up for sale I would get in line.

The one sold on this forum recently was offered for $1450 I believe, with an OBO. I offered him $950 but he had already sold it for $800.

Hi, 

 

I have a buddy who’s running an auction. He has a Shinkle and a pile of other rare ones. 
man I allowed to post the auction link here?

Dr. Dobby:

 

Thanks for asking before posting the link.  As it happens our Forum Rules prohibit links to outside auctions.

 

RULE 10.2(e) - Outside Links to Websites

 

In this section, we do not allow the posting of general links to outside websites for additional pictures or where other militaria, not listed on this site, is for sale. This feature is for the protection of our members. Without this restriction here, some users would abuse this by posting innocent looking links to viruses or inappropriate content. Additionally, in the case of fraud, modify or remove item pictures on the outside website.

 

Regards,

Charlie
