Hi,

I have a really nice Star Castle cocktail. I have been told the kind I have is pretty rare, but I am not sure how rare. I know the only other Star Castle cocktails I have seen looked very different, being long on the horizontal axis instead of the vertical like mine.

Anyway, I was wondering how many of these are around, and if anyone has done any scans of the artwork or tried to get reproduction glass silk-screened tops. I'm always very paranoid something is going to happen to mine and without the beautiful original glass top it would suddenly become pretty worthless. If there are others with this model and no one has done any repro work on it, I would be very interested to start a project for this. I am not sure how to proceed though... I'm not even sure how people scan things like this.

Any advice would be appreciated. I have attached a couple of pictures of my machine.

Well, the machine is very rare. Really, really rare. A few scratches would not hurt the value at all, if it is ever offered for sale you would have a feeding frenzy on your hands. Just take good care of it and keep drinks and water away from it. It would be the center piece of any seasoned collector's vector collection.

A local friend has one, and it looked exactly like yours from what I remember.

Did I mention it is rare???

Keep it original, all the way, it looks wonderful from the pictures.
