Well, I have always wanted a plum to add to the collection and was excited when I came across this on FaceBook this afternoon. I was stoked, especially for a $20 bill... Made contact with the seller and hit the road. On the way, he text me to be sure I was coming because there was someone else who was also on their way to pick it up. Seller did the right thing and held it for me since I was the first to contact him.
When I got there, he had it completely wrapped in shrink wrap so I could not really get a good look at it. I figured for $20 bucks, what the hell. I have wasted a lot more money on stuff less important than a new SSP. Got it home and it obviously needs needs a little work. The worst is there is some rust on the dome around the handle. It does not go all the way through, but close.
It ends up it is a EI code which puts it at 97'. Here is the real question? After doing some reading on the codes, some info states the plum was only available in 2000 and 2001? I now cannot find where I read that info. But my real question, is this a Plum or Burgundy? Does not make that much difference because it looks plum to my sore eyes, but the more I look at it, I really question Plum or Burgundy?
What do you think?
