        Shawn's Take!

        Most Bug Bomb's look as if they were enameled, the color is just that thick! Common in red and purple but also came in orange, gold, ruby, dark blue aqua, teal steel grey,
        blue, copper and brown. A little collected casting, mostly forgotten by collectors so usually cheap $20-$25. A blue of copper might go for $50 and the brown $75 ish.
        Blister packs.. low end purple $50ish - high end brown $250.
