If anyone is serious about that King Kong, they should ask the seller for pics of it prior to restoration. This would certainly explain exactly what it is.
Of course, conveniently, their existence will likely be denied...
Seems clear whatever is going on it's been made to "look" like a Window Card
The other thing I noticed in the Ebay ad, was how determined the seller was to show (and state) that restoration was done, saying he/she had the receipt, etc. It almost struck me as "overkill," in a way. But again, everyone's sales approach is different, so that may just be his/her method.
I
would like to know who did the work, since the 2 companies mentioned, are not one in the same.
It would be interesting, too, as you mentioned, Chris, to see if any pre-restoration pics do exist. Either of the 2 restorers mentioned (in the ad), would have snapped an image or 2, prior to work being done, to document the "work in progress."
