Chris, have you tried to track back through the lineage of owners. I believe Dick Abbott had these around '99 or '00 and think they were together then. He may can help with whom he sold them to.

Thanks, Sean. I did talk to Dick about these as I found the images on his site. It has been determined that these were a part of the late James Lull collection that was sold off to various parties.

Many things could've happened to the jump butt. It could have been separated from it's siblings and been part of a lot that went to another buyer. It could also have been lost in the madness due to it's size and sitting anywhere from Hawaii and the mainland U.S. Or it could've been hidden by Mr. Lull's estate and kept away from the liquidation proceedings.

Chances of finding the butt may be slim but you never know what'll pop up on the internet these days.

Chris
