Equipment
RHD. Red top lining, white tires, jump seats, Gray & Davis acetylene headlights and kerosene sidelights, dual right side spares. A handsome older restoration now beginning to mellow into its own patina after being second in class at Pebble Beach in 1983.
Market commentary
Sold by RM here in 2007 for $297,000, then at Hershey last October for $176,000, it has been spiffed up since then, an exercise that did nothing for its transaction value. Dropping $33,000 in five months ($46,000 without the commission) is hard to understand, but the buyer here got great value in an outstanding old Thomas.
