Only a few more hours…. Or… whenever I feel like it, until the winner is drawn via random number generator. I wanted to show you the one I just finished that will take it’s place. The is from 1930, a little bit rare in that it was extremely expensive and release right when the Depression hit. The original retail price was $9.95, or just under $200 in todays prices. It hardly sold at all, so they lowered it to $7.95, but it still sat on shelves and in the warehouses. So in 31, they lowered it to $5.95 and came up with some creative marketing, bundling it with other GE products. I don’t have the total number sold but it is an interesting story. Anyway the serial number points as mine being manufactured in 1930 or 31. It took a lot of work but I am very glad with the way it turned out
