Were any of these from the early 1900's as advertised by SCP, Legendary (I can't imagine they would lie), 22K-30K......or were American Memorabilia & Hunts correct and the more realistic value is closer to their 1000-2000?

That's such a big difference. And for the couple that paid those high prices, not like it matters to someone who could afford to spend 20/30K on a music box but did they buy something incorrectly advertised? Caveat Emptor as Mr Brady would say.

Bob you might be lucky on 2 fronts, one you were runner up and didn't shell out 15-16K on an item worth less than that, and 2 that you got a deal and your white whale.....but is your white whale off white if none of these are early 1900?

Paul, I had the same conversation with another board member about getting it for $2300 vs. $15k and above. Regardless the piece is gorgeous and while some of the shine may have come off of the purchase, I am very happy with my purchase and have no regrets (the story would not have been the same had I paid $15k+ for it).

I do believe that the pieces are rare and still in very high demand that they still will bring strong prices in the future.
