I found this at an antique shop recently and was very apprehensive on popping on it because of the $$  $1400.00 So I was wondering how much it was truly worth, who makes it and how old?

Thanks!

No where near that price. I've seen them for as low as $500

That was the number I was thinking about 500-600.

Barrels are not really in high demand. I have seen nice ones go for much less than that. there were a lot of them made, they are big and they really are quite ugly especially when compared to an outboard motor style. I wouldn't walk I would run from that deal.

Thanks guys! I kinda figured the same. I like the way it looks but I felt that was way more than it was worth or what I would pay. I may email the guy in Chicago though try to get it for 450 or so.
