Bidders, we are in the final lap, do you want it?? Questions?
@rr1234: One large cabinet, multiple angles.
@Rr1234- It looks to me 3 pictures from different angles of the same cabinet.
In one of the pictures it shows three separate cabinets with individual pieces. is this auction for one or all three of the cabinets and pieces
@bills007: I have owned this collection about 10 years. My understanding is that the prior owner had collected them over a 25 year period. I am not aware of a single source that has re-created these dioramas to the original level of detail you see in these examples, which reflect a patina that would suggest 40-60 years. I added some components of the collection, but 90% was assembled and displayed by the previous owner in this same cabinet. This is why I am selling as a complete collection. Yes, these pieces would bring more money, sold separately, but I am moving and liquidating my six garages full of memorabalia comprised of 45 different collection themes. If you are close enough, come put your eyes on them.
Based on the large difference in value, Are these original vintage pieces or modern knock offs?
