VE-130 Circassian Walnut Value?

[antique1973]

I am going to have a look at it tomorrow since its 13 miles from my house. Too bad it is not one of those $20 versions like George talks about.

Did you ever get to see it ??

I did see it and its nice, although I really can't be sure its Circassian. Most of it looks
like American walnut with the exception of a strip on the front and under the lid. The owner
did mention it was refinished/stripped before but I don't think that would alter the grain
pattern. It may be a less dramatic form of Circassian or a more dramatic form of American.
If the owner decides at some point its the latter I would certainly make an offer.

it was refinished/stripped

I certainly wouldn't offer top dollar based on this information.

I posted the original craigslist ad for this machine on the old forum. I am unable to recover this post using wayback. Perhaps someone with better computer skills can recover this ad from the old forum due to the interest in this machine.
