Thanx once again Ray --  any of the buyers the well know big boys or Euro's .. Not trying to suggest or ignite a debate on class warfare here but Ive seen telegraph key prices grossly distorted by only 2 or 3 well funded people. My theory is eventually those people loose interest or otherwise cease being a factor which would thus allow others to acquire these type of things..  It also seems there is a discrepancy between comparable "valuable" antiques -- few high end Civil War pieces exceed $10K - in fact most doesn't exceed 5K. Same with scientific instruments.  Why does it seem wireless and telegraph pieces can be so outlandishly expensive?
