Nice pickups.
Owww - my eyes are hurting. That's elder abuse franks - no way to get a like. :)
You still have not bribed him appropriately. :)
First one cleaned. Second one is one I deem lousy unclear pictures so I do not even try to figure out if it has issues.
But you may not have over paid for them at the time. I know I bought a 3legged buffalo - did not over pay for it at the time, but a couple years...

Looks like a vam-11a - and no telling what drove the price that high. At least I don't see it.

Nice find.
