Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Clearly they are marked 'Obsolete 10-16-35', but the drawing dates are a little harder to read from the photo. One looks like May (5) of 1926 and the other Oct (10) of the same year?

On any given day the price changes. A brand new ( NOS ) at Hershey was priced at $ 600 dollars and was still there on the third day. There obviously was no stampede to get to it.

$2200!! Thats crazy! But thats NOS. Ive heard people saying theyve bought one for $500.00 and some others saying they paid a little over $100.00. This is why I am asking for a value, as I don't have any good comparisons.

I saved an image of the original Jarvis w/ box that was listed on EBay some time ago.

If I recall it was listed NOS, or placed on a vehicle once for show. In any case, the "crazy" price was not that crazy to the person that purchased it.

I believe Vince has some additional photos of the this Quail on his "Ford Garage".
