[QUOTE="Spydro, post: 22055855, member: 132438"] Thanks. Some Reo history as I remember it..... The ReoMeister did the patina on it himself. But most of the brass Mini's he tried to patina didn't live up to his expectations. I saw the pictures of all of them, and agreed with him that only a few of them stood out above the rest. So being the always honest man that Rob O'Neil is, not that many of them were offered for sale initially. IIRC later some of the remaining best were sold for a greatly reduced price though. As for this one that was one of the best, he sent it to me way back around when he was shutting down the Reo forum here on ECF as a gift to a friend, and in thanks for my years of doing business with him. I left ECF for around 1.5 years as well when he did, but we stayed in regular touch via phone/email. I bought then got my last new Reo from him on 6/5/2017... an OG one of a kind custom color Reo P67 that he made special just for me at my request for this specific color. It might have been the last P67 that he made IAMA soon after Reos Mods was gone (it had been sold). This is the first picture taken of the Copper Metallic Matte P67 the day I received it. Of all my Reos, this one and the brass Patina Mini 1.0 are my favorite Reos because they came from the heart of a true friend.
