I was second to the last bidder. That 25% buyers premium is always a tough one to swallow. I imagine the sellers fee is anywhere from 15-25% as well They as much said it was probably a bitser, so I decided to wait for a piece with some provenance. It certainly looks the part.

Thanks for the information and for checking on these when they come up. I appreciate it.

No problem Brian, from the pictures it really did look the part.

The records are unfortunately not complete, they were a labour of love to compile digitally by Gil from surviving factory documentation.

Had Gil and a handful of others not acted so decisively with historical preservation in mind, all the records would have been destroyed and lost forever.
