Realistic lobster magnet?

January 23, 2011 7:51 AM

Looking for a specific hard-to-find lobster magnet. Realistic lobster image (not cartoon), dark ruddy/blueish color (not bright red), about 10-14" long, no background, no text, just a cut-out shape of a lobster. The whole thing was made of magnet, such that it would stick to a car.

We know such a magnet exists, because friend had one which was stolen. The original came from a souvenir shop in Maine a few years ago; she doesn't have more info than that.

She's searched for months for a replacement, with no luck. I've searched in all the ways I can think of, including in some souvenir shops in Maine.

Can AskMe find it?

(Anon because I want to surprise the friend whose magnet was stolen, while preserving the anonymity of my main account here from colleagues.)

Could it have been this? The size is right, and it's at least somewhat realistic, though not exactly bluish.

If you can't find it, think about these Inkjet Magnet Sheets (or other similar product). You can find an image of the lobster you want and print out your own magnet.
