Sure about that? The auction end price was 146.50 plus postage.

plus tax? It’s such a bummer eBay collects sales tax these days.

What do you all make of this?

https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Very-Rare-u...e-/264910685136?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276

.

Looks like a perfectly genuine 40s lapel pin. I had an enamelled one, which I gave to a friend. Perhaps they were given to dealers or used at trade shows?

I know the seller of this one and have no reason to doubt it. I'm not quite sure why he listed it with such a high asking price initially.

I suspect it would look great after a clean up.

An interesting and rare box. Quite an unusual logo. The only one I've seen previously housed one of the jumbo Compax models at auction.

I should declare an interest as the seller is a good friend.

I don't understand why the accent on Genève is wrong. It should be Genève, not Genéve... 👎😉

Hi,
Been looking for a couple of years now for a 1950s-early 60s polerouter box. Trying to get a period correct one for a 204610. Anyone have any leads on somewhere / someone that might have one?
Thanks!
