Its out of my price range but its still not as expensive as I figured it would be. It will be interesting to see what it actually ends up selling for.

I'd love to be rich enough to collect all the salesman sample items I've seen, then there are the Patent office models that come to light. So glad I didn't see this in a glass case somewhere, my wife wouldn't be able to tear me away, then would have to listen to me moaning about it for days.

Post by: Lostmind on June 11, 2014, 09:02:27 PM: I suppose you could make one with the new computer printers, nothing like an original.

I saw that. "composite" I'm not even sure what they meant by composite. Some kind of plastic maybe. Could it be some ceramic or phenolic material?

Thats probably why it is non working.?.?

Post by: Lewill2 on June 12, 2014, 06:32:29 PM: 41 bids and $510 with a little over a day to go.

Ended at $570, way out of my that would be neat to have range.
