Ummmm.... Huh?

[Brian Anderson]

So I'm doing the daily stroll through ebay listings when I come across this:

 

Crazy ebay ad

 

Text states, "THIS IS A FACTORY ITEM NOT PUT TOGETHER WITH ODD PARTS."

 

Ok, I see. And someone said pen collectors were nuts.

And the seller lives on Canada's west coast, like I do! Crazy BC Ebayers.....

 

So are you going to add this to your already-vast Esterbrook collection, as an oddity, Brian?

Yup. The cord and in-line switch are definitely genuine '30's materials...

 

If I'm not mistaken, the plug is polarized... <_<

Well, the seller does say it's rare. I have no doubt about that.

If you're close Maja can you put a stop to this insanity, Please?

 

Well, lemme see, is there room for another desk set? Gee, sorry, No room at the inn.

The seller revised the description and it no longer states it's from the factory. You're not going to bid on it?!

Sounds like more than a couple people want to see this thing in person. I actually vaguely recall seeing something like this (perhaps it WAS this one) at auction before. Being the nice guy that I am, I'm stepping away from the bidding and letting others take over if they want. I already have 16 or so dip-less sets, I think I can live without another.
