( I paid $12 in the late 70's for my first one ) Expect around $20
to $30 today, and slightly more if parade mounted. Not rare
at all, so they are still very reasonable.........

"Rare" I was being sarcastic Steve, and thanks again.

They are pretty cheap now day. Have seem them as low as $15 and upwards to $45 depending on the seller. Shop around for a good price, just picked one up myself for $13
