One Major Positive about HI Prices for Late BA's, is that it might bring more of them out of the woodwork for us collectors!

If I had one, it would be for sale now.
It's alright Bob, I think Curt is just starting to sound like his wife. :D

Zwebie, I hope you get your price... even though I personally (and my wife) think it's a bit much for a song on a cylinder... but what do we know? :roll: :lol:

I just wish I had one to sell... :mrgreen:

Bob, I can see that cylinder bringing that kind of money if the right person sees it, although you may need to have some room to negotiate. I'm still hoping to find one at the local antique mall for $5.00. Not expecting to though. Good luck with it.
