There are two minor varieties of this piece. The common one is seldom seen, and this one is rated as a Rarity-5, 31 to 75 known, but it&#039;s got to be on low end of that number. My guess is that there might be 30 of these around, but there aren&#039;t many. All of the examples I have seen had one problem or another. I bought this one in a Stacks&#039; sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]984761[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]984762[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
