I saw that, and had been looking for one for years. PT BOATS INC at one time were selling these. I think the starting bid is way out of line though.

I could never float that one by the wife. She'd kill me. :-)

Frank;
To bad about the high price, These people need to stop worrying about $$ and think more of us,[:-rdo-:] This would make a nice lamp to read PT Boat books with, and if that PT 195 flag I told you about, could be framed hanging on the wall above it, now that would be some awesome Manroom stuff!!! Too bad.......
I never knew they had these made and sold out of the ships store, when was that, the 1960-70's? I have Been a member since 1984, and I have never seen one. Wow, I wonder what other cool do-dads I missed.
Take care,
TED

The only reason I knew they were being sold by PT BOATS INC., was I had secured a bunch of their Newspapers. I saw a big ad for them, just that the guy selling it is asking way too much for a lamp. I would love to have it, of course, but as Dave said the Wife might just kill me.
