Found it in my fathers junk collection he passed away. Can anyone tell me what that is and if it's worth anything?

Good price on that one in the E-Bay link. I would have thought about $50.00.

I,m confused again......14.95 British pounds sterling = $24.0052....which is half your $50....??

Right! That's why I said the one in the link was such a good price. Around here I've seen them for $50.00.

Bigwull that would be a good price if you are the buyer !! You would be paying less than the going rate here !!

Sometime,s I wonder about me....i can be so quick on the uptake....then there are other times when..it takes a sack of pennies before one eventually drops....but on the other hand....had you said at the beginning, that from a buyers point...then...i would,nt have needed a sack of pennies.... ;D
