Looks great - there has to be something more than chrome/nickel on those things.

Wow, that's a lot nicer than the one that brought $72 the other day.
I had a good day too. Took a chance on a blurry-photo Red Tip in plastic case for ten bucks shipped; turned out to be near-mint. 
Gotta love it when that happens!

I'm firmly convinced there are two somethings on those things. Looking really closely, the metal on the handle has a slightly different color from the head and neck. Very strange.

Sometimes I'll take a chance if the photo's bad...

I was thinking the same. Let me know how it turns out.
Will do.
How'd I miss that one? Got to quit being so dedicated at work and spend more time cruising ebay........

I can't wait to see how that thing looks cleaned up. Make us jealous!
Speaking of this design, you ever seen something like this:
What is that green stuff on the handle? Looks pretty much like an aristocrat...

Looks like an Aristocrat in a Regent Tech box.
Another one closed last night for around $17 plus shipping. The photo was even worse, so I passed.

Also a Regent Tech?I knew there was a forth when I was responding to this thread but never looked at the collection I was cleaning the den a little and saw them and thought of this thread. Here is number 4 a 40's Aristocrat. Here it is
that´s right! 1940s Aristocrat in a late 1930s Regent Tech box. Good cleaning job!
Okay, I'm lost....which is an Aristocrat and which is an Executive?
Here's a slightly different President, with the lower ring in the older Aristocrat style:
THe executive is on eof the few mistakes found in the Krumholtz book. There were two editions, here are pics. There's a little more described in the Wiki area.
