Well, I thought that some folks might to take a look at some of what's up for sale... http://thevintagent.blogspot.com/ The "Chandler" Camelback has shown up. They are going with 1901 I guess.... ??? I'm really digging that Peashooter!!!!

Looks like I'm a little slow on this one. I guess it's what "was" up for sale!!! Here's the low down on that Peashooter... http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/publi...aleSectionNo=2

That peashooter, I am told after a lengthy email exchange, is likely the most original, correct and complete available worldwide. It has a couple of mod's for dry lake racing, but is otherwise intact and pretty much fully documented. Sold in 2007 in St. Paul for either 98,500 or 104,000, (The Classic Motorcycle Nov 10 2007, page 3, discrepancy hasn't been resolved). I received quite a lengthy history on this one when it was listed by a person in Australia who most definitely knows a thing or two about factory race peashooters.
I would love to get some really good photo's of that one for reference, but probably 90% of the ones I have obtained photo's for, while cool looking machines, were largely fakes and were not of high enough resolution to bring it into software and scale accurately. But, if I had a million dollars, I would be in Vegas.....but not at the blackjack tables as usual.......

You got that right!!! Did you look at the peashooter photos on the Vintagent blog? They blow up fairly large and aren't too bad but the only downfall is there's only shots of the right-hand side.

I have factory pictures of both sides.

Thanks Chris! I already "borrowed" some photo's from your site. I was going to replace them, but figured you didn't want your site hacked and that you likely had the originals The Bonham's site was not receptive to probes of object elements....the photo's they had in the flash version, had to be greater than 20 megapixel. (In the top right of the page, click on flash version, then zoom in with the tools and you can see every nut and bolt with amazing clarity, to change the photo in the flash player, just click on one of the large thumbnails at the bottom of the page.... if the page is still up or cached).

The peashooter went for $125,800 to a private collector.
Here is a link to some of the results, 6 bikes went for more than $100,000.00
