Two EKIs

[Butch]

I need to sell these two EKs to raise funds for another purchase but before I put them on the estand I would like your honest opinions. If they are correct what would be a fair price to ask for them?

Cross 1 is a Deumer marked L/11.

Cross 2 is S&L maker marked 4.

Many thanks,

Gareth

Cross 2, part 2

Both are nice originals.

The "standard" price these days for a standard-issue, marked pinback EK1 in good shape is €190 or about $275. A rare maker, a cross in excellent or mint condition, a variant pin or core or mark, a screwback, or a beautiful unmarked early piece can all be quite substantially more expensive.

Since Deumer (L/11) and S&L (4) are two of the most common makers, since these are not mint or rare, but very good, absolute textbook, untouched originals in very good shape, I would say you would do well to ask €190 for each, perhaps even closer to €210 or so for the S&L because it has very nice paint and interesting patina. That would be a very nice, very fair price for you as the seller, and for your buyer, in my opinion.

Nice crosses, I just love the 'snow camo' patina on the S&L
