noble instincts noted, but
1. original listing says the badge was found in a lot of Detroit pins and like, and should be a "Detroit Collector's hands." I qualify since I have been collecting Detroit items since 1938.
2. seller: item sold pending payment
3. seller sends me a message requesting payment via Paypal F&F
4. seller sends me a message saying "don't pay, may not be authentic." but I have already send payment via Paypal F&F as requested. I have receipt but now understand that a recipient can refuse to accept it for any reason.
5. as to authenticity, I'm as good a judge as anybody in the Net54 room when it comes to 19th century Detroit memorabilia, excepting Joe Gonsowski and Jay Miller.
The most irksome thing of all is that an item appears, I go through all the ethical and proper steps, but I am not allowed to bid on the item, as I believe is happening.
