Another one from the bay - curious on the originality - do the hands look off?

Thanks again for all the help

I saw this one too. Looks nice but is my understanding that they are not very valuable. I am surprised that none of the other experts on here have confirmed if anything else is not original.

If people disagreed with what has been said they would.

Summer, did you pick this one up? I got busy at work as it was ending and didn't get a bid in. Looks like it was in nice condition.

Nope! I ended up passing on all of the pieces that I recently posted about here. I think I am going to go back to the drawing board a little bit and go for something newer.

It went cheap though! Maybe I should have bid!
