Chet Krause's Potty Dollar

Potty Dollar from the Chet Krause estate



As potty dollars go, I've seen better and I've seen worse. I gave this one a go, but came up short. Bummer. A potty dollar would've been nice for my Oddball exonumia collection, and the Krause pedigree a plus.

    That is cool.
    I wonder if a potty dollar was ever used on an opium dollar?

    Wouldn't surprise me a bit.

    She looks like she's sagging but with the feathers it would have been a nice companion piece for your chicken trime.

    I guess it was. I didn't toss enough money into the er... um... pot. Story of my life.

    Um... pretty far away. Like almost (but not quite) a hundred bucks short. image



    I had a electronic snipe set (in the $165-175 range, if I remember correctly). In my earlier communication with the seller about the Krause pedigree info, he told me he thought it would go $275 or so, and the $255 closing amount shows he was pretty close to the truth. Really, I'm not surprised to have lost with my significantly lower bid, but I just didn't have the money to be competitive on this one. C'est la pauvreté.

    This potty dollar is the raunchiest one I've seen.



    But very cool, in a slightly repulsive sorta way. The snaky *ahem* object image coming out of the side of the pot is a creative touch, which makes you wonder about the artist's imagination (or not). The other *ahem* object image in Liberty's right hand is unmistakable.

    Obviously Miss Liberty is ambidextrous.

    Obviously! imageimage



    PS- the disembodied um... appendage image in her right hand also lends a certain terrifying Lorena Bobbit aspect. D'you suppose she has a straight razor hidden away in the bottom of that chamber pot?

    Take a look at what the much-naughtier example I mentioned more recently just closed for. (Link is in my reply three posts above this one.)

    Is that in line with what you thought it would go for?

    More, but I really haven't watched these much until recently, so I didn't know what to expect (and that's also why I lost so badly in the auction of the OP piece. I didn't even try on the second, nastier one.)
