Rick Baptist, who collects Schilkes, wanted to buy mine for a very low price. I am sure that there are others who would pay much more.

Whoa. Old Schilkes (from the late '50s and early '60s) are more valuable than current production.

A friend has Tommy Loy's old B1 from the '60s. If he'd ever sell it, I'd expect to pay around $2000. (He'll never sell it, I'm certain).
