Red Hook , And no way to prove it ever was released with it . Unless you purchased it new and you are the first owner. gaz

It is always possible that the seller sent baseplate photographs to the bidders which showed it to be the first casting. (However, if he had received two such enquiries, it would be odd if he didn't take the hint and add a baseplate shot to the listing.)

Thank's for the replys. So it must have a base plate without a tow guide...I guess I need to read better as well.

Regardless, still way over priced. Clueless collectors and/or shill bidding involved.
