WE 1895 Potbelly Sold On eBay

[magicbrain]

Looks like someone got WE 1895 potbelly for $3250.00 - This first appeared with a starting bid of $299.00 or best offer - I sent the seller an offer, but someone placed a bid & it was automatically declined - Then listing disappeared & reappeared as sold with BIN.
Not sure if the hook is correct & it looks as though it may have been a lamp at one time?

Thanks for looking guys. For me still showing exactly as per the $2500 screen grab.

Wondering now what it shows for our other members in the EU. Could you add a quick screenshot guys.

The phone is actually a WE 1897 Number 9 Potbelly.  The hook is suspect, but the base, pot and telescoping transmitter mount look correct.

Someone got an exceptional deal on this item.  Hopefully, a forum member got it.

On closer examination, the switch hook looks correct. 

For what it is, the price is a blue light special.
