Market commentary

Sold by Brooks in Monaco in 1998 for $88,631, by RM in Arizona in 2011 for $165,000, here in 2013 for $220,000, by Worldwide in Auburn in August 2013 for $264,000 and offered by RM in Amelia in March of last year with a reported high bid of $210,000. Hopefully it has found a new and enthusiastic owner who will give it a good long term home and the attention it deserves.
