couldnt resist picking up this 23J Bunn 163 while there either, plus a lot of other stuff to lots of bargains even when comparing to Ebay prices.

Nice scores there Chris!

Yep, the Denver Regional was nice. Great to talk and even found me a nice Private Label Southbend sitting in someones case! Yeah, thanks Fred! Big Grin

I didn't get to look around much, manning my table and selling off a bunch of stuff for a friend. A good day for me, sold over half of the stuff.

Great finds, Chris, May we see a picture of that 163 movement?.......maybe you got even luckier than you think. Some 163 Type IR's had this "droopy bow" #28 case on them. Only around 880 or so of those vs. the more common 163 Type I with over 4 times as many of those around. I will even make a venture to guess that the serial number of the case will be in the 9.7 million range before you even show us a pic of that as well, if you would be so kind, thanks so much, and Happy "Rocky Mountain" Hunting!

Very nice combination, that "droopy bow 28" is a real find.

Chris supplied 9759909 as the case serial number. The movement serial number is 5375389 and as you'll see below it is a 163 Type I variant of which some 3,800 were produced.
