Well – lately I saw an auction on ebay where the seller claimed his Corona Flattop (described as “folding”) being from 1800’s.

Which just goes to show “buyer beware”… what you read and what you see are two different things. One hopes the pictures are honest even when the words are not.
Errors? Mistakes? I learn more from that than success. To paraphrase Edison, it is not a mistake or a failure, but learning what does not work.
It is a noble beauty.
