It turns out I misjudged this piece and should have tried a bit harder to win it.
I have since learned it is a true landmark piece and likely the original builder's model
or patent model from the late 1860's. Probably worth 6,000.
I clearly had the right idea and I sure did miss on it's value.

I emailed the seller and the buyer and have not heard from either one.

Just caught up with this thread and sorry you didn't win it Gil.
It is amazing what can be found rotting away in someones basements.
With luck it was a museum that boght it so other people can enjoy it too.
