So this is why these are flying off eBay all of a sudden, they never sell for years then all of a sudden all are gone at once.

I have a couple but I am afraid to touch them for a carpenter I am not. A lot of them are just made of thin plywood shaped and tacked to a form and it's so fragile after an entire century.
