Title: Webb Corbett P/W
Post by: chuggy on May 29, 2006, 02:45:56 PM

Bought this on my wanderings today as I thought it looked interesting and given my minute knowledge of PW's I'm happy to learn via purchases. It came in it's original box and with original label, but I can't find a single PW on e-bay by Webb Corbett. Are they unusual or is it run of the mill. It has a dragonfly and 5 faceted windows around and a larger one to the top cut through ruby flashing.

Opinions please.

I sold one similar but with uranium casing and a spider etched underneath.  If you search the board for 'spider' it'll come up.  Not much help really though.  :(   I think I sold it for about £17.  :)

Oh well Max I only gave a fiver for it so a cheap bit of education in that case.

I think they're rather collectable.  Yours has the proper box, so will make more than mine...and people go mad for things like dragonflies, don't they?  I'd have snapped it up for a fiver!!

Trouble is I'm now acquiring a few PW's and I really don't have space for another collection so I'm going to carry on with it for now then box em up into the garage for sometime in the future, when I'm old and geriatric.
