Bill, the reason I asked is because this is the VHE that I just bought. It looks TOO perfect. The wood, fit, finish, everything looks 100% original except the colors. They look too yellow and not blue enough. This VHE is from 1920 (as I recall).
The seller got it from an estate just outside of Gloucester and claimed that it was totally original. The family member who placed it on consignment with the dealer said it had never been shot and had never been taken out of his great-uncle's safe. I have my doubts because of the color, but I liked it enough to buy it either way. Other than the color the photos would suggest that it came out of the Meriden shop. Either it's original or a heck of a nice refurbish.
