Market commentary

Consignment 4180. Most Thing production was in Mexico, but apparently four were assembled in Germany at the end of production of which this is one. German marked and all original but tired. It will be hard to justify using it given its history and preservation and it doesnt appeal much to the bidders, bringing the same reported high bid here as it did in Scottsdale five months ago.
