I have not bothered to look at the auction at all. I was making a
GENERAL comment regarding eBay auctions and sellers in general. If
you read what I wrote again you will notice that I commented on the
ethical quality of some sellers, but not all.

I'm totally confused on who I was addressing. I thought it was Rich. Who's
Tim? Sorry
The #24-B is 24 across. Wyatt's are 19. Amazing that the 24 horn isn't
reproduced . . . there's a natural market for them! John

I believe that Wyatt's
depends on its particular model and condition, but this is
probably a ballpark value for it these days.

I'm not sure but I think some of the original luster on Victor plated
parts is from shellac or lacquer applied over the plating.

I'm trying not to sound snide here, but in 40 years collecting, I've never seen
anyone do this with a reproducer . . . unbelievable that they can't figure it
out! I was once fortunate enough to find a D reproducer jammed into a Home
carriage eye, but this takes the cake! eBay #310020775592
Last night I told my wife that while everyone was watching the Superbowl (I'm
not a sports fan), I was going shopping on eBay. In my search, I found a
magnificent unrestored but clean Model F Triumph that had been listed just a
short time earlier. It had an oak cygnet horn, O reproducer, and
a search and see it?

It was in NYC. He suffered a fatal heart attack in his office there in 1914.
Google Len Spencer's Lyceum and you will find his obit there in a link to the
New York Times. His is the second obit in the column you download.
