It sold in October at Sotheby's October sale for $16,800 plus commissions. --Bob

As pretty as it is, the Bride wouldn't allow that in the living room either.
Nor me, after she found out I payed $16800+ for it....

Silodrome has some neat stuff in it. I look forward to their weekly emails.

I have three non-flight worthy Lycoming 8 cylinder crankcases to build some piece of furniture out of. Our current cost on a crankcase is north of 15k. Complete 8 cylinder is like 125-150k.
