Rarity doesn't usually translate to valuable, in OPE collecting. Except for the few machines that become sought after by 'cult followers'
G'day
GM Gadge, Crumpet and BL,I feel Gadge has expressed a true view on this.
I have often said, "Rarity doesn't usually translate to value".
Although, BL, I wouldn't describe the Model 38 as rare.
They seem to come up for auction regularly, but not too common now.
In terms of design, edgers aren't too different, and I guess this is why
so many small makers made them as well.
So, let's look at the Whirlwind.
All very interesting.------------------------------
