Wow Martin, it's a high prize, but it is also a very rare item, which cannot be remade I believe ...
the mechanism is very delicate! (I know, because I translated your German book about Edler
)

Yes, Rob, it is amusing. It is a piece very in request. And very very much refines.
Kind regards

What an interesting piece of apparatus ... . The routine is pretty basic, but the gimmick certainly doesn't seem to be.
I wonder why it sells for so much though ... . You shared quite a lot of information with us/me about the fine apparatus crafted by Karl Edler but I never knew his pieces (or perhaps it's only this piece?) are so valuable. I assume there are a lot of people looking for Karl Edler in Europe perhaps?
[EDIT] Ok I just saw the advertisement. It seems when you convert 150 36's Reichsmark (the price back then) to EURO you already have more than 450 EURO
That explains part of the high price already.
