Blair’s Firecracker 500 Reserve: White Base

White Firecracker 500
Blair’s Firecracker 500: White Base (only 24 exist!)

So the first sighting has occured, one lucky chilehead was kind enough to let me put my grubby paws on their White Firecracker 500 for the sake of the HSB bloggers. Isn’t it beautiful?

    Bret you really think so? Personally I would have thunk, he would have numbered them randomly from 1-500 taking the need to have a low number away. Welp I guess time will tell (unless you have the inside scoop there Bret ๐Ÿ™‚ ?!
    Remember the quote “No two bottles are the same” … I think we can see why this is now! He has 3 different base colors and at LEAST 3 different INK colors, so collecting multiple bottles wont just be about numbers but ink base wax and number now ๐Ÿ™‚
    Well, that is assuming you are a mental case like myself :mrgreen:

    Nick care to enlighten us with the possibility of Brets comment (without revealing the number? Does that one happen to be within the 1-24 range or over it?

  7. Nick Lindauer Avatar

    No – the white reserves are not 1-24, the one pictured is #293

    Well now that Blair has done an all AMERICAN bottle true to the fact it is USA the product comes from, I wounder if he will ever do Italian or other country colors close to his heart? I guess time will tell.
    Like maybe a world cup XX depending on how many world cups there have been ๐Ÿ˜€ (OK Silly but I would buy one, heck I bought an Italian Jersey for someone i know as a gift) OHH, did you see that as i re-read that?! Italien Jersey…And Blair is from Jersey and has a little Italian in him….hmm i do detect some foreshadowing there. Hmm maybe that feeling is just gas. Ohh well.

    Absolutely gorgeous. Rarity aside, that’s my favorite color combo. Wow.

  12. Ryan Bell Avatar

    We ought to keep track of what numbers are white as they surface. Just a thought……

    Now that we know there wasn’t any other low numbers out there in between 1–500 (238+238+24=500) I really could not see it happening other than the way pmac mentioned. Since it had to add up to 500 how could there have been a 1-24 within the 500 without it becoming 524.

    That said I have a Blue and Red Base and I’ll wait for a White to take its place on top of the shelf. (The finale of an era.)

    The 1-24 i think he meant the first 24 bottles would have all been the white ones. Therefore have been numbered 1/500 2/500…etc

    I remember ALLOT of people were saying the same sort of thing when the B99 came out. It does look nice classic conservative with a bit of flair, just like the B99 ๐Ÿ™‚

    I am sure that will make a difference too to keep them all different. I personally don’t put too much stock on that. I think too many people consider that rare. But its his slogan and lots of bottles have it (I would be willing to bet more than 24 or 30 ๐Ÿ™‚ )

    AAAAAA!!!!! I would love to have a single digit 2am. I got #278 2am but now I want to go lower. I got the 2am that says “Feel Alive” on the side about 3 months ago. Got it for 40 bucks. Its not numbered but it does say feel alive. Kinda cool. Never saw a 2am with that on it untill I saw the one I got. Thats why I grabbed it.

(You can clearly see the Difference)..4 of 500 Bottles ????…..More Facts to Follow….PS..Wait till you see the Encore with Numbers……..FEEL ALIVE BLAIR

    how about a wax combo like the N-59? i.e. with a swirl in it of different coloured wax…….that’s possible and would make them very different

    Just got blue base #189. No special encore.

    Yeah, I got my second order today red base # 153 and blue base #162. Anybody got a white base up for trade or sale???? Let me know if you do. Only 1 encore per person not per order as I had two orders on different credit cards. That is nice Blair, I like the way you did that only one per person makes it even more of a collectable….

  52. Jim Campbell- StepUpForCharity.org Avatar

    Got my order today (wife says) but I’m stuck at the firehouse ๐Ÿ™ Can’t bother her to open it- just have to wait until I get done with stairs tomorrow. Headed to bed with visions of firecrackers dancing in my head ๐Ÿ˜›

  55. Ryan Bell Avatar

    Any more white bases surfaced yet?

  56. Ryan Bell Avatar

    People…..someone HAS to have gotten a white base by now. At least we know they’re all numbered around 300 or so.

    Anyone else care to check in?

    I just bought #293 (the one pictured in this thread).

    Cool!!!!!! How early did ya get your order in? So far that is the lowest number and lowest number white base.

  61. Ryan Bell Avatar

    Sounds like a low number white base, and a regular encore! ๐Ÿ™‚ Congrats!

  62. Scott Avatar
    Scott

    Check the forum and the color of that Encore. Interesting I must say.

  63. Ryan Bell Avatar

    It doesn’t look that different to me (if you’re referring to the yellow color in the picture where there’s 3 regular encores and a red, white, and blue underneath them).

  64. Scott Avatar
    Scott

    Yeah, its more like the color on the 3am’s than a bright yellow color.

  65. Ryan Bell Avatar

    That’s so subtle that I seriously doubt if it was intentional.
