Holy Smokes!!! $400,000+ for one item??

Posted By: Jay Miller

Scott---What I have heard is that a potential bidder/bidders had the cabinet looked at by experts who indicated that there were doubts as to whether it was period. The more I look at that cabinet the more I believe it looks like the top of a grandfather clock. I have a grandfather clock at home that has a removeable top piece that is very close in appearance to that cabinet.
Does anyone here know how a trophy ball is authenticated? Why couldn't the piece have been made as a commemorative later in the 1800's or in the early 1900's?
If the cabinet is not period it makes one wonder about that paper attached to its back with all the scores.
