What is your opinion on pricing a new water bottle with a vintage bicycle logo?

Hello C&V enthusiasts,

I've finished the artwork and I'm getting ready to have these "reproduction" LOTUS water bottles printed. They came on almost all of the Lotus bikes in the 80's yet they are very difficult to find. I'm having a few hundred silk screened in the exact style of the vintage bottles. White and black caps will be available.

My question is, what is a fair price to charge? I'd like to sell them in pairs, or offer a healthy discount in pairs, I'll also offer free shipping. It costs the same to ship two bottles as it does to ship one, around $3.00.

Now I know most of you don't have a Lotus, but imagine it was branded with the logo of your favorite vintage ride, and put a price on that please.

Photo shows a mock-up of the new bottle, a catalog photo, and a vintage original bottle.

Any input would be much appreciated.
