Thats the first time I have seen one for sale (in any condition)

The thing is that its empty and the seller says he will supply instructions of how to refill it - the thing is that surley the formular is a secreat unless the seller knows otherwize (unlickly) so is it just a internet found formula etc.

I don't know anything about it other than it must be VERY rare.

I've never seen one either.

I'm expecting it to go for a good amount, especially if word gets around about it being on ebay.

All the best, Wazzer....

it was mine several years ago, when i gave it to that guy ,it had been refilled by myself, the glass tube was hand made by a company after i broke the original trying to refill it, i used distilled water, one very small drop of washing up liquid, cooking oil, and parafin oil tints ( dye ) BUT be warned once you get the oil in it will float ontop making the end rubber bung a nightmare to hold in as it will slip and pop out, so you need to fill it up but leave a small air gap and dry the top end of the glass tube so the rubber will push in and not slip about.  Good luck !!!! lol

oh and if i remember rightly, the oil may have been to thick to go through the 2 little cut out holes in the centre rubber bung, im pretty sure i added a small drop of turpintine ( turps ) in the oil, its trial and error getting the oil to work right, but deffo there was a small air gap, which is hardly noticable when the metal end caps are on. as for how much you put in i think it was just under half the contents of the tube. and p.s the glass tube cost more than the opening bid so at the mo its a bargin !

Hi, it certainly was a bargain.

I thought it would've gone for loads being as they're rare.

Even in this condition.
