Looking at the Filys, The Wade and Butcher's, etc...If someone throws a Vintage Fritz Bracht up on the Bay, or perhaps a Reaper, or maybe even a nice Puma Gold in the wooden coffin you'd see the same. It's always a been a seller's market as far as I'm concerned.
I did come across a DD GE in a it's original coffin, never used. Belonged to this woman's Grandfather. She found it in his draw after he passed, and gave it to me. Still has the nice blue ducks, and all the Goldwash. I'm not sure why it held up the way it did over the years, but it has no rust, no rot, no wear. For some reason he bought it, and never used it.
