Jennings

[mervyngoodhew]

Am I missing something? I see that Jennings Henry Powell has on ebay has gone up to £1550.

[coppinpr]

Yes, you're missing the fact that he's a lucky bugger

just back from
newark antiques fair
never found any treasure

but i was talking to a dealer i know
who was at an auction last week
and a jennings gov pulled 1600 pounds plus the slap

[arrgee]

It's now £1850 on 30 bids with 2 hours to go!

Sold for £2000!

So is this a new record for Governors?

Anybody wanna buy mine??

As predicted, more shiny slots are appearing:

(only jealous because my stock of Governors are still in full rust and oxide condition), but don't they usually say Jennings somewhere on the castings?

[toibs]

Lol least you have some!!!

Makes the Chinese Front Chief I bought for literally shillings more than a grand just after Christmas even more juicy.

It's not just this hobby - i think it's affecting a lot more.

Pinball had gone the same - you could pick up a DMD 90's machine for less than £600 12 months ago - now they are £1k+. I have also noticed just as i got into this hobby that 6 months ago you could pick up say an Aristocrat for under £100 - they now seem to command £200+.... Typical timing for me!!
