HUGE RARE CYLINDER COLLECTION!!!

[Garret]

The "Bettini box" in this lot is not genuine but a fake, made a long time ago (by someone I know). So, its value is close to zero.

These sorts of "fantasy" pieces will only cause problems for the hobby in the future.

Yes, I knew that one was a fake when I bought the collection of boxes! I also have another "fake" Bettini box, along with a couple of the more commonly seen, and real, red Bettini cylinder boxes!

And, hello to Garrett! If you went to the show, I'm sure we have met! Send me a PM sometime, so we can exchange info. I know you were looking for a few things--a small repro cone horn for a Q is something that I remember, off hand. I have some, among other things!

Happy to see this! It's still an interesting piece, albeit of questionable value.

These are some pictures of my other fake Bettini cylinder box.
