I used to have a beautiful example that I picked up at an antiques mall in San Diego back in the mid-1980's. I used to take it with me, along with a Maroon Gem, to Bluegrass and Old-Time music festivals that I frequented and set them up at my camp to play early country and string-band records for folks. Eventually sold it and the companion record storage locker for $1K. That was probably in 1995 or 1996. Private deal, not eBay.
