That's what I was figuring on. Maybe try to get it for $25.He says there's slight micro cracking to the finish when looked up close.Maybe the laquer has gotten weathered a bit from being in his garage? He says it came out of his granparents estate from the room the kids weren't allowed in.Has been in his garage a few years.
