Antiques Roadshow appraisal of a "Starfire Model 302"!

[walrus]

From 2/22. I'm thinking this appraiser has more wrong than just the model name and the color!

Can't seem to imped the video, but this link works fine.

Lots of discussion when that episode aired:

Guild on Antique Roadshow!

They just showed a Guild Monday night on Antique Roadshow, (S26, Ep8, Part 2) from New Hampshire. They got the model correct as it was an ST-302 (you could see it on the label), but they called it a Starfire! Was this model ever referred to as a Starfire. EDIT: Was just reminded further down...

Oh crap! I knew it looked familiar and even did a search - that clearly failed!

Mods, you are welcome to delete or whatever, I am reporting myself with shame!

Not to worry, most of us old guys had already forgotten about it!

My inclination is to merge rather than delete. I also find when the time gap is measured in months the mechanics of a merge are a PITA. Given that the native LTG search is good but not great I can even be forgiving. So you're good and won't be exiled to an ice flow for a month
