I had felt the same way Jonathan! I had to have one. Even when I got mine 8-9 years ago it was pretty expensive! To think there was a blonde one there too for just a bit more. I love Art-Deco/Steamline design and the 621ts is about as close as it comes. The surprising thing about this set is that it is heavier than it looks! It's one of the highest quality early 7" sets made.
