This might be a decent purchase for someone nearby, especially with a best offer. The Spiders Legs looks nice. On pic. 3, I can't make out what's around the crank hole on the V I...

That looks like a home made brass escutcheon.
Also, note the back bracket. Look at the scrollwork. I see blue lines, so that looks like a Vic III / Vic IV bracket, right?
It may explain the 3 holes in the bottom moulding. Screwed down to keep it from tipping with the larger horn?
They need to show the motor and the hole for the crank from the inside.
This eBay lot is all listed on Craigslist separately. The Vic I is listed at $750 obo. As a collection of parts $400 is a good start for it.

Hard to see in the eBay picture. Here it is from Craigslist.

You're absolutely right, James. I did not notice that from the eBay pictures. Thank you.
I take my initial comment back, it's not a bargain at all
