vintage Connie help!

Post by theoilrigger » Thu Jan 13, 2011 3:10 pm

Hey guys! Long time no talk. I need some help with a vintage Connie. I'm starting to get the itch to snag me one. What is more desirable?
Satin finish?
Egg shell finish?
Pie pan?
Dog leg lugs?
Date or no date???

Please help my brothers!
Thanks, Bo

SS, pie pan with cross hair. That's the shiznit, and you'll pay to own it. But worth every penny...

I don't know much about them, but I know pie-pans are very desirable. I also think all SS goes for more than the gold-plated stuff.

I like them a lot :thumbsup:

A friend of mine has his grandfather's '60s Connie with a cushion case and a cream dial and it is stunning. It's got the date magnifier under the crystal and a funky quickset date feature activated by pulling the crown out. Here's a bad photo of it that makes the scratched crystal look worse than it is.
