I'd like to know how many signed Klein bottles are in the world, and if they have a price? Where can you purchase an original bottle?

I had one of his bottles and I designed and built a glass chamber for it and gave it to my grand daughter.
I spent quite some time talking to the head of the glass blowing dept. at Kansas State about Mitsugi. Quite a guy.

You might contact Kansas State University.

I got my two Klein bottles directly from Mitsugi Ohno. As such, KSU Physics Dept would likely have no such records.

I read somewhere that he made close to 200 Klein bottles and the word that I got from the KSU physics dept. was that the bottles are priceless. ; so I really don't know any more than that.

I got mine in the Salvation Army for $1.99. I knew immediately it was "priceless" because of the rarety and the signature. I didn't know what I was getting, but as soon as I got to my computer, I researched and found exactly the same bottle. Sometimes you find treasures in the Salvation Army, I found one.

I have two original signed Mitsugi Ohno Klein bottles for potential sale. Mitsugi was a friend when I was at K-State.

I'm having difficulty finding current values. Reports/comments posted above of "priceless" provide no basis to establish values. I have contacted personnel at KSU with no responses yet.
