2\4 fireside b worth
how much is a fully restored fireside b with a diamond b reproducer & no cygnet bracket, along with 2\4 gearing worth? I'm thinking about selling it

Ehh. Honestly I would say it’s worth as much as you think it is. But finding a person who would pay the price you want could be difficult…I’d say start at around 5 or $600? And if it doesn’t sell just lower the price slightly.

Re: 2\4 fireside b worth
It's tough to give a value estimate without photos. We'd be making assumptions such as: If there is no Cygnet bracket, is it drilled for one? How long ago was it restored? I ask because reproduction decals made a few years ago, and still being sold, are a negative, in my opinion, and reduce value. Was the deck repainted and re-striped? Is it being sold without any horn? It's difficult to give a value for some of these reasons. I think if you give us more, you'll have more responses.

I thought the Fireside B was 4-minute only. The Fireside A is a combination type.

It also depends largely on HOW it was "restored"...

Without supporting photos, any "what's it worth?" posting is pointless.
