Just a 'look out' for you all who might be looking for a Brunswick Hoppe Pro. In addition to being misidentified as 1950's, the seller apparently used another id to add comments backing up his 1950's claim. I emailed him and got nothing but a bunch of name-calling.
Here is the item - there are plenty of Hoppe Pro's available on ebay without having to deal with a seller like this, and the current price is no bargain for a modern common-wood Hoppe Pro. That's one of the problems with the new ebay policy of hiding i.d.'s - protects sellers and allows them to shill their own auction.
