If I was inclined to bid what this guy is asking oops --and I'm not--I would be a bit concerned by that first photo.  It almost looks photo-shopped.  glare

"This one is rare due to the fact that it has a water fountain on the side." is what the seller says. Hey I should send him all the extra water fountains I have laying around.

Really!!! I have a good collection of water fountains too!  The only good thing about them is if they left the copper coils inside, with the price of copper the way it is or was a few months ago.   I see he chromed the doors, a pretty expensive item now.  I had a buyer once that wanted the doors chromed so I had them done and they looked pretty sharp unless you want to keep them close to original.

Most of the time on those split doors polishing didn't work very well, the castings were full of defects that Vendorlator filled in before they painted them.  Chances are if they are just polished they are not very attractive upon close inspection.
