Oak? Mahogany? Circassian Walnut?

There was a nice spring driven XVIII in mahogany that sold for $1300 + 10% at Stanton’s auction.

You guys crack me up!
It is a plan jane Mahogany. It it were walnut or a Verni, I would not be asking, and would just pay the man!
TIA!

As far as I'm concerned, there is no such thing as a "Plain Jane" XVIII. However, the price for the one sold at Stanton's sounds about par, if not slightly up for his last several auctions I did not see this particular machine because I was not able to be there this time.

The “Plain Jane” mahogany XVIIIs are gorgeous machines! If everyone waits to find a Circassian Walnut or Vernis Martin XVIII, very few will ever own an XVIII.....

I suspect we all thought it was probably a mahogany example. But even with mahogany there is brown or red. I like red mahogany and would assign a higher value to it. If anyone desires an appraisal you've got to have a photo or good detailed description.

Mahogany crank models used to be around $3K if very nice. Condition is always a factor. Prices have fallen quite a bit. The one at Stantons for $1300 sounds like a bargain if it was in nice condition. The correct albums are also a factor in value. Ken
