$1400. dollars for a Supreme!!! Unbelievable. I'm sure that I would have driven down to Texas as fast as possible to snatch up such a rare beauty. It's unfortunate that it was refinished, but oh well it's Supreme. I sincerely congratulate the new owner who will no doubt place it in a phonograph auction and make several thousand in profit. If it was mine, it would stay in my collection until my estate was sold off. :mrgreen:

I'm boardering on heresy here, but I've always thought these were extremely gaudy and way over-the-top. At home perhaps in Liberace's house :lol:

But yes,.... I would have snapped that up in a heartbeat ;) Someone got a heck of a deal. Hope it doesn't show up on Pintrest stuffed with wine bottles.

I'm experiencing dreadnaught-like, indefatigable envy. ;)

That's a stunning Sonora! Many thanks for posting the several photos, and to others for the concise model.

What I know of Sonoras could fit inside a needle tin - already full of needles.

Cheers,
Fran

Wow, thanks for the additional photos. I love my Sonoras but I can only hope to find one like that someday.

Bill
