Happy Birthday to me...a bit late!

The auction closed a day or so after my birthday, so I expected this much sooner, especially coming from South Florida.

Seller said he had a family emergency...anyway, it finally got here!

It is huge, it is heavy, and it is gorgeous!

Looks like it's from the 1920s or 1930s and patterned after the brass-era Fiat Mephistopheles record car.

Do not forget that Wes is only 16 years older than me. :P

Thanks guys! I didn't know anything about it when I bid, and I still don't know much. Paper label on the bottom states 1998, CBK LLP, Union City TN, made in China. I figured it was a modern decorative issue, likely patterned (in spirit or by copy) from something from the'20s.

It just has such a "seat-of-the-pants" balls to the walls, boys! air about it...I love it!
