Jim Rogers JR149 - overpriced but in minty condition

[ToTo Man]

These are arguably WAY over-priced, but if you are OCD about cosmetic condition and have a penchant for green leatherette (like I once did!) then these are probably the nicest examples I've seen. Add some Hartle ribbed grille foams and they'll look stunning next to your green Chesterfield arm chair and green leatherette writing bureaux!

No connection to the seller BTW.

Yeah, just a weeny little bit overpriced.

3 x the price I just sold mine for in fact, and tbh I think mine look very nearly as good and don't have that appalling leatherette . No striped bears included with mine, though you could sit one on top....

Another pair of over priced JR149s in one of the rarer finishes;

Think I would take these over the green leatherette (not at that price though!)
Check out the serial numbers as well, can't be many earlier pairs around.

I like the finish but the stands remind me of daleks!

Unusual finish, especially for early s/n. I'd have thought the more exotic finishes would have come later in the production run.
