Would be great for a cheese slicer. You even have enough extra top there to use as a chopping block.
Actually, it's cute, but not very practical. Wonder how it plays?

Dang, I was going to buy it and have it shipped to my daughter and her husband in Huntingdon, UK as a surprise. The could use it as a piece of furniture until they move back to the USA.
Free collection obviously means they would have to pick it up. He has a truck, but that would spoil the surprise!

Don't know if the currency converter I used is right or not, but the current bid is 10.5 pounds. This is what I came up with (Copied from converter website):
10.50 GBP = 16.4064 USD
British Pound US Dollar
1 GBP = 1.56251 USD 1 USD = 0.639994 GBP
Gee, at $16.41, how could you go wrong?

I wonder who is buying it? |

Who can say this auction isn't being bid up by a friend or relative of the seller! I've seen that happen more than once on eBay. You stop bidding because the price gets too high, and next week, the same item shows up again for sale.

Back in the 60s it was almost impossible to buy steel guitars of any kind in England. I know because I was living in Birmingham 1945-1980.
Like many others, I built my own lap steels and console steels. I once built a pedal steel, but, without a machine shop I built the mechanism out of wood and Meccano parts. As you would expect, it never stayed in tune and I went back to non-pedal.
This looks like it was home made by an enthusiast who couldn't get his hands on the real thing. That being so, it's not a bad attempt. |
