I had an Eddystone, probably from December 1918 or January 1919 that was not a WWII mixmaster. It was beautiful.
I sold it to pay the mortgage when things went south.
Shortly after a very similar Eddystone was on the back of American Rifleman in the "I have this old Gun" section. I'll probably take some heat for saying this but if I remember correctly, NRA was saying the value of that rifle was near 2k.
some of them did come down through the ages unscathed.
