A young man was selling his grandfathers 28 tudor and showed a box of parts in the ad..I spied this with my little eye and made an offer.Being a shrewd businessman the lad countered 25 dollars higher,I couldn't get the money out fast enough.



It cleaned up real nice,very little scale,no wear..its an authentic pre war winfield 7 to 1 wedge ..what do you think its worth?

The lad should have looked at the box, seen "Winfield" on the head then gone to Google and Ebay. The for profit sector of the Model A hobby is a bear pit...no place for lambs.

Not quite sue what you mean..I made a fair offer,he countered and I met his counter.I also bought an ansen dual carburetor intake from him,once again at a fair price,he was going to throw the parts in with the car. I inspected the '28 tudor for him and appraised it as a real nice repainted survivor,convinced him to raise his price,which he ultimately got.Maybe other folks operate in a 'bear pit' but I don't..
