What a horrible Ebay listing. Nowhere Alabama, local pickup only, one teeeeny photo, ridiculous capslock hyperbole "EXTREMELY RARE: ONLY KNOWN SPECIMEN TO EXIST!" and probably very extremely unrealistic starting bid.

To see how rough these things really were built, check out these photos of one of these frames on Mark Bulgier's site:

which probably explains the one tiny photo.
