You have to be real careful when buying anything vintage anymore esp on Ebay. Many people don't know what they have so they tout it as something really special. If you want to get a real kick try typing "salesman sample" in ebay and see what you find! If it's small such as a child's toy, it's a salesman sample!! 90% (or better) of all the salesman samples are bogus.

In 1969, RCA made a 9" B&W TV in a little wood console case used for kitchens and bedrooms yet it is almost always touted as a salesman sample. Yeah, like salesman carried this stuff with them-most products were sold out of a catalog.
