[Cryptos]

Ooh, might be a juicy fight on for a potential Magnusson holder! (originally listed at $1800 BIN)

It smells to me like some knowledgeable person contacted the seller back channel and told them convincingly that it isn't a Magnusson.

 

If he were still as convinced now that it is one as when he had it as a BIN, I might assumed he would have relisted with a high start bid.

 

He can leave his, "some experts say all Magnussons aren't marked" statement in and not be making a fraudulent statement about the item.

 

I don't know squat about Magnusson's, just making an intelligent guess here.

 

It Does look like a nice holder though.

It looks like pictures of Magnusson's that I have seen, though that hardly endorses it.

 

Bidding is creeping up, so I guess there are a few speculators on its provenance after all.

Then presumably the seller will be keeping a sharp eye on that person to see if they end up bidding (2+2=5)!

 

 

EDIT: Price is currently around $200. That's pretty close to what you would pay for a brand new custom Magnusson lookalike from one of the good makers of pen holders today. So, if it was me I would be seriously asking if this is indeed a genuine Magnusson.

Sold for $510. 'Someone' thought is was a real Magnusson methinks.

What's special about theMagnusson holders?

It's a bit of nicely turned wood made by a specific chap. It's only the second part of that statement that drives prices on these things (from what I gathered through asking impertinent questions on THIS thread). As for the first part of that statement, well, there are several really good current makers of such beauties!

For 510 damn dollars it better be possessed and write Spencerian with just me holding it.
