I know.... cant understand how he would not have an original. He has so many incredible original machines that it doesnt make sense unless a friend gave it to him, or it didnt matter to him at the time. I would think with a collection of that magnitude that there would not be a repro anywhere in it.
Like seeing a collection of great gumballs, Masters, Pulvers, Columbus, Blue Birds and then, and at the end there is a Carousel machine. :dontknow:
