[QUOTE="42Skeezix, post: 33242, member: 40"]I'm not sure about the knob. Could very well be original too. Kinda piece ya gotta hold to know for sure. If it were marked that would be sweet. The hinge pin doesn't bother me. IMHO the execution isn't absolute top shelf but VERY VERY good none the less. Unfortunately without a siggy it could have been made by anyone from a very skilled student on up. Liners are out there. No mark, a buck and a quarter woulda been top retail back in the day. I'm kinda with Greg but give it a little more push. maybe 50 lookin' to make a quick flip under a buck. 'Course now, seeing it in hand could sway this either way rather quickly. ...even better photos but nothin' like holdin' it. It IS a GOOD lookin' piece that woulda been a no brainer around a hundred several years ago, but that market has become very thin. ____ Joe. An aside. Have you ever looked into "Low Brow" art, AKA Pop Surrealism? I'm not mocking, I'm dead serious. I LOVE Lowbrow. There are some VERY talented artists in the genre. Their work is still fairly accessible, and I THINK you just might find some styles that interest you. Some of it can be pretty weird, but there is a TON of REALLY great work out there. (especially if you're a car guy, hot rods, lead sleds.)[/QUOTE]
