But, it is marked down from $228.00!
And he says it's RARE. (Rare, to him because it's the only one he has)
I think the poor economy brings out all sorts of hucksters and scheisters.
there is an auction on Ebay right now for a 1971 Plymouth GTX (real thing).
Buy it Now for 1,100,000.oo. Yes, 1.1 million dollars. Either the guy is seriously deluded or
a huckster. Car is worth $35k.
Unspoken expectations are premeditated failures.

I think by 1920s he is referring to the prototype design. Since the model has an exposed worm
I think it is a 1980s+. The first Mantua 4-6-2 came out in 1952, if I recall correctly the information I saw on HO Seeker.

Rare huh? If thats so, why do I see 20 plus on ebay or at the large train show? 1920's? Really, more like 1970's!
