How can you tell its a REPRO ?

1. wrong color

2. stamping design at base.

3. hinge design.

4. Where can you buy a repro? Ebay for $1000.00

Accessories are out of control!!!!

What a shame :( :( :(

JYD, you haven't bought a xxxxx Stetson hat lately have you? .... and that probably ain't on your wish list either?

The guy who bought that must have more than he knows what to do with it.

Hope he's happy,

The guy that is reproducing them is a friend of a friend but he still wants way too much for my taste $500 I did a little horse trading with my friend and got one. I've never seen an original one but to me this repro looks a little rough not sharp as I think originals would be. The guy is also making the umbrella carriers.

So, if this is a reproduction, why didn't the seller state as such in his item description instead of leading bidders to believe that it is an original? Here is what he says in his item description:

"42-48 CHEVROLET ACCESSORY HAT HOLDER/HAT RACK FOR ALL MODELS, FLEETLINE, FLEETMASTER,STYLEMASTER.VERY RARE ACCESSORY TO HAVE.VERY NICE CONDITION,BEEN IN STORAGE FOR YEARS.NOT BENT.HARD TO COME BY"

Obviously, with his reserve price he is trying to rip people off, and his lousy feedback indicates that he has had issues from others.

Are you saying that 5 negative feed backs out of 33 is bad?

Mr. Mack,

Judging by JYD's response, even though he is an Oregonian, he doesn't know that much about the price of beaver. Guess you have to be a cowboy.

After spending that much on a hat and holder, the tail is probably chasing you!

Hum.....I think that actually a used septic tank for sale will fit better into the catagory. As a matter of fact, we just removed one this afternoon that has been in the ground for 35 years, and replaced it with a new tank. Maybe we should put the old septic tank on eBay. What do you think? :eek: :eek: laugh laugh laugh wink
