Geeze guys...I go out to my bench for a few hours and you start talking about me. Thanks for the kudo's. I try the best I can.

Doug, for cryin out loud, your bidding against me! That's not nice...To be honest I couldn't give you an accurate estimate without seeing the piece. I don't really know what all it is going to need. It is falling apart so I suspect all of the stitching will need replacement. The seller says the metal rivets are badly corroded...I don't know if a GNR has steel or brass rivets. I suspect steel and hopefully they can be cleaned up and not need replacement. If they are brass he may be looking at heavy verdigris.

Glen, My Wife is going to be surprised if she shows up....
