    I guess he left alone all these years to give it a whole lot of rusty "character".

    I have found 2 more FW's @ 2nd hand shops. Each one keeps getting MORE expensive!! NO LOL here!! giggle The first one I saw was $359 in absolute MINT condition, but I wanted a scroll f.p. it was a 1951. Next one I saw was $395 and was in bad shape... a few days ago I found exactly what I was searching for.. my heart skipped a beat when I saw that cute little black box on the floor. I opened it up and found a tiny little FW in there, a scroll f.p. and everything! I was beyond ecstatic, hubby pulled her out of her case and she was in ok condition just decals rubbed pretty thin.. I thought I will replace them!! HAH!!! I knew I could polish her up as she was pretty dusty..... then we found her price tag $495!! Are these people kidding???? What ARE they smoking??????
    Still shakin' my head!!

    For that price, they could have at least wiped it down!

    2nd hand shop owners now sit around on their $%^$%& and watch ebay and craigslist on their computers. Pickers bring them merchandise. So when some PT Barnum namesake bids up to a ridiculous price, they believe! At least they get some exercise rushing to mark up their wares.
