Here's a very rare top.  This will be a great find for someone.  The seller does not want to ship.

"I will not ship. They don't make these anymore. I have a white half cab soft top made by Kayline who went out of business years ago. I purchased this from mefford and hood out of tulare california a few years back and hade it stored ever since. This top only covers half a jeep. So you still actually have a bed to put stuff in when the top is on and zipped up. Windows look brand new and clear. Great for you hunters who use dogs. This way the cab stays warm, due to it being smaller and your smelly wet dogs are in the back, away from you and your cheetos. I have some of the hardware for the top, not sure what all is needed. There is a small box with the instructions and door handles, screws, and other small brackets. Not too sure on all the rods, the doors are correct, the skins just slide over the metal frame and snap into place. The bow and other rods not 100% sure on. Looks to be too many pieces. Any good mechanic / fabricator can figure it out and make a couple pieces if need be. Jeep not included. have more pics of top and parts/bows. Some staining on the top, should be able to clean up with a little elbow grease"

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000

UPDATE: This post from 2014 has been updated with additional brochure examples. See all the Blue Star hardtops documented thus far:

(From 2014) This Blue Star aluminum top was built by the Blue Manufacturing Company, founded in Kansas by Max Blue circa 1946. 'Blue Star' was the brand name used on several products he produced.  There's some conflicting information, but it appears In 1946 Blue Manufacturing was building aluminum airline parts. About that time, as a hobby, Max began building aluminum boats. He also tried manufacturing and selling jeep hard tops.

Demand was so great for the boats that in 1948 he leased space and built boats full-time. Meanwhile, he either sold or abandoned the jeep top business altogether. Given only a few Blue Star tops have surfaced over the last few years, I imagine he didn't sell too many of them.

However, Max was able to sell boats. By 1953 the company was building 1,000 boats a year. In July of 1953 he moved the company from Goddard, Kansas, to Miami, Oklahoma. There are various articles into 1960 that talk about the Blue Manufacturing Company. However, the company appears to have ceased boat production in 1964.

This brochure featuring a CJ-2A is the earliest example I have of this top. It was part of an early industrial equipment book.

Here's another example, this time with a CJ-3A:

Here's an ad that was featured on eBay.

Here's an example of the logo badge:

Here is an example of the half tops:

Here are some photos of actual full hardtops:

During the summer of 2013 a seller on eBay had two jeeps with Blue Star tops for sale:
