Y7 Rolls Copper Fire Extinguisher?

Post by choobox »

There has been two Y7 Rolls with gold bodies, brass wheels and copper extinguishers on Ebay in the last week. One is active now. Base shots of the one last week showed signs of tampering. The bottom of the extinguisher was flush with the base. The currently listed model has no base shot. No mention of this variation anywhere. Fake, and a quick copycat with another? Any thoughts?

Variation is well known and in the book. Issues 10,11 and 12 have copper extinguishers but also the rare silver bonnets, issues 16,17, 18 and 19 also have gold or copper but only 18 and 19 have the 12 spoke gold wheels so not sure what listings you are using. These models could be either 18 or 19 depending on seat colour of red or black.

Thanks Much! I have the Mack Big book for reference, as well as this site. It is one of the great Yerteryears models- NOW I must have this one.
