There was another thread running on the third item, the "President" . . .

I was watching #2.

I bid on #1 & #3. I expected the President to go higher than I'd bid, but the Aristcrat really surprised me. The black handle that Achim won was less than that one, so I kinda expected this one to fall in a little less. And the search continues.....

 

[johnmrson]

Not me. I watched them but didn't bid on any of them.

 

[Uncle Erik]

Wow, all three of those are real beauties! I'll have to keep an eye out for one of those!

Take a closer look at the handle on the "President."

Yeah, I was wondering about that smooth section and thought about a replated Aristocrat when I first saw it. Hmm. Except the date code . . .

That first set is a British #45 set - "Popular" Aristocrat in a a bakelite case. That's pretty pricey but it's uncommon for sure. Glad I finally got mine recently!
