<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Dale asked a pertinent question also - is the rim bent or
sawn (modern or "antique"). That <EM>*should*</EM> affect the
value.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Value restored? Oh, that's much easier. At least as
salvage we have a common denomenator. Restored - oh maybe between $15,000 and
$100,000. So many factors - quality of rebuild, location of sale, method of
sale, clientele targeting, economic factors, BSing ability, etc.,
etc.</FONT></DIV>

B<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>> I'm not an expert on these, but about one or two
