Just picked up a Wildwood open back from a fellow who said it had been in his closet for the last twenty years. Any thoughts on its worth? Photos on my profile.

	OdeOwner says: 9/20/2013 9:06:23 AM I would assume so.
	Svenn says: 9/20/2013 9:20:25 AM Wildwoods have one of three types...tubaphone, whyte ladie, flathead. Post a pic of it and one the experts can tell ya for sure.
	OdeOwner says: 9/20/2013 9:34:46 AM OK. I'll shoot a close-up photo when I get home. It does have a nice copper tone ring and I just found one exactly like it at this ebay listing: ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-WILDWOOD-...c36ac9752

	OdeOwner says: 9/20/2013 10:06:33 AM Don't know if it's missing a resonator but those attachments do look odd and seem to be the only different hardware from the one I have. I guess his price tells me what it is not worth.
	OdeOwner says: 9/20/2013 11:45:30 AM So it's a Troubadour with fancier inlay than today's model?
	Svenn says: 9/24/2013 1:43:14 PM Saw your classified post...you should have no problem selling it at that price. Wish I had available cash...I'd buy it in a second.
