Don't know if anyone else inquired about the 1/4 million $ rare machine, but I forwarded the database info on that serial number to the seller and his reply to me was "it only takes one sale". His listings indicates that he is in the tire and rim business. None of his other products carried such a high price. My best guess other than ignorance of the merchandise value, is he was told that people who collect vintage/antique machines are in the 2% of the wealthiest people on the planet where price is no object! Gee!! That is a great feeling, now I must double check my investment portfolio!!

A good price - just kind of wonder about where the seller got their information. . .

(do we dare tell Jon that Davis is an "off brand"? LOL!!)

I'd say "forgotten brand" would be accurate. "Off Brand" is a matter of preference methinks.
