I have an opportunity to buy this steel for a couple of hundred dollars. Have not seen it yet, only cell photos. What do you think?

Beautiful minty-looking silver Ricky. For that price I'd buy it for parts even if it didn't make a sound, but that's me and I'm no expert on value. If it works I'd say JUMP!

Good luck man!

yup, thanks for the reply. Looks like it is the last model of the pre war silver hawaiians. I'll let you know if I get it.

If it works and really looks that good, it's worth at least $800 without an original case.
I can't believe anyone would ask so little.
