Expensive Columbia Oil Can

Post by Phonofreak »

Holy Cow, this Columbia Grafonola oil can sure went high. :o :shock: I know items in decent condition go high, but I didn't think it will go this high. Any input?

I've never seen one in such perfect condition so maybe that's why it commanded so much money ?

If it was Victor Talking Machine and had nipper on it the price would have been double that or more. Advertising oil tins do not hold up well and that Columbia was in super condition

I have never seen one before, but like it... The graphics are great and the condition excellent, but as Harvey always says "It's above my pay grade."
