and as i suspected as well ..if you will remember i noticed the numbers going
across the bottom
even more amazing then the price you paid is that you got it already??
what was that.. 2 days??

did you fly there and back to get it?

Just For the record..
the idea to put together a list of the CC1 Serial numbers originated with
Karsten Bauermeister a top Collector From Germany.
he asked those collectors who owned a CC1 to supply him with the serial numbers
he made that request about 1.5-2 years ago on Kurt's site and it was also on
Kurt's site where the initial list was first published

  The serial number on this newest CC1 is 4035.  These

after Bauermeister made his request and initial compiliation of the numbers it
was concluded that there was little if any  rationale behind the numbering of
the units
the numbers range from 4-6 digits
i am fairly certain the numbers were randomly assigned

of course its possible that some pattern will show as the list grows

Historically Accurate Regards
