I also have an interest in early radios and you will hear the same thing
over in radio land. But, his auctions are all well photographed and the
descriptions are very well written. Maybe he is just very good at
proving P.T. Barnum was right.

I have been watching Firebottles auctions for 3 years. The seller's machines
all have the same identical finish and luster on them. In my opinion, he
resprays them. His auctions always bring values which are way our of line and
the bidding historys have a pattern of the same person upping their bids
several times near the end. If it looks like a duck.......

I also followed this auction. I made a couple of posts in another forum on this
topic. I can't believe how high this went. I can't sell a Standard for $300.00.
Go figure. That seller must be laughing all the way to the bank. For that kind
of money, you can get an Edison Opera.or a Victor VI.

Wow! At least I know it was a honest auction. I have bought a couple of
nice machines from the seller. I live 30 minutes from him and picked them
up. He allowed me to see some of his other machines and big radio
collection. his items are always very nice and they bring better than
average prices. Tim
