Are you trying to create an artificial frenzy, Chuck? While I definitely
agree it is a historically valuable artifact, and this is assuming it did
come out of Whilrwind, saying it would fetch $10K at auction is kind of
irresponsible.

My guess is that you found a pallet of these at a local auction and are
just whipping up interest for an imminent eBay sale :)
