Thanks ttom!
Seemed to have missed this before, Sir, I love the first one and that dogbone looks like one of those bull horn with a bulls face dogbone, but can't be sure. Never seen one in person, love the senior motometer with it. Can't really see these going too cheap, but if so you must have been one lucky dude that day !~Phil.
Hello Phil!I gave $35 each for these and the dog bone came in a box that I bought at an auction 6 years ago,can't remember what I gave for it.Thank you very much for the love!
Hi, looking more closely at the dogbone it appears to be missing the ends of the dogbones and in this case, not a bull dogbone but one that may have had marble ends on it at one time. Still a valuable one.
Thanks mattyg!
Thanks ttom! BTW phil the "horns" I think are as made condition,they are nickle plated and show no signs of being altered.
