Post by: salmonfishing on February 26, 2017, 07:57:19 AM

A Wards Hawthorne Model No 60 6438. It has a medium brown frame with gold side plates and front cover. Appears to be based on Century 100B.

That's a nice one, bet you paid a pretty penny for it. Every time I see one on eBay it goes way past my budget. I did catch one based on the Sabra, it was very dirty but cleaned up nicely.

Actually it wasn't bad price wise I didn't think. I was surprised. It was an auction and no one bid except me. The reason I think no one was bidding was because the listing pictures were pretty bad and made it look off color. I paid $39 for it. A few weeks back I saw one nicer than this one go on an auction for $138! Wow!
