Adjusted for inflation it sold for about $100,000 in 1994, I'd be surprised if more don't surface.

The 1994 Antiquorum catalogue does say that it was 'specially made' for the 1958 Basel Fair and 'unique'.

That's all very well (and probably true) but auctioneers are not historians. Neither is it a primary source.

Interesting because the ebay auction said it was in Clearwater, Florida and the seller was credible.

The one in the Antiqourum auction has a metallic colored body, not including the engraved ring on the bottom, the ebay example is all brass....

The photos used in the eBay listing are all from the Brazilian auction listing and associated YouTube video. These clearly show that the body above the brass base is also coloured/silver, just like the Antiquorum example.

I wonder if the new UG is bidding on stuff like this. I would if I were them.
