This just in from Linda aka IDOJ4ever on the Jeannie Journal:
You may recall seeing this gem from the episode My Master the Ghost Breaker and others. When faced with a trip of any duration, Jeannie was ensured the safe transit of her bottle with a marvelously padded and well appointed case. Now, thanks to the wizardry of Elio Vieira, Linda’s brother, you too can have your own Jeannie bottle travel in style.
Constructed of a fiberglass body and lined with red velvet the case is hinged and secured with fasteners and strong handles evoking the original prop case from I Dream of Jeannie while still being practical too.
A BIT of HISTORY:
Two of these original replicas were created by Elio in 2005, one as a gift for Barbara Eden and one for his sister Linda’s bottle that Barbara Eden signed. In May of 2005 Linda had the great fortune to meet Barbara Eden in person. There she opened her case to present her bottle for signature and Barbara remarked, “What a beautiful case!” That’s when Barbara learned that she was getting one too! Imagine Barbara Eden’s surprise at receiving her very own Jeannie bottle traveling case saying, “Now I have a place to keep my real bottle!” Perhaps, in addition to keeping her bottle in the case, Barbara Eden travels with it when doing promotional press tours. Now another has been created, but only one and it could be yours if…
…the bid is right! This fantastic replica is soon to be listed on eBay. There is no telling when or if the artist will fashion another so don’t let this be the one that got away. Just imagine stepping up to Barbara Eden, Larry Hagman and Bill Daily with this gem and your bottle to boot.
NOTE: The signed case pictured here is in Linda's private collection, the case up for auction is not autographed.
To see the traveling case in action, view the video on Djinni TV: Jeannie Bottle Case Video and see the larger more detailed photos in the Djinni Gallery.

Fantastic! What a great piece of work! A desk, a mirror and now the traveling case. When will we see Major Nelson's house on here? Good luck with the auction you created a masterpiece!
