Took a chance for under $20. No chips, no cracks, no pits. Sat flat before, but after cleaning has a little wobble. Likely made that way.

Nlce looking 4 at a nlce price Doug.I have the 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in LB.Still on the hunt for a 4.Don't see a 2 in my future.
 
I had just returned another identical #4 the seller had "overlooked" the warp on, describing it as "lays flat, no wobbles". I see they relisted it starting at $25 with the same description. Somebody bid it up to $99.

This one I decided to take the chance on at less than half the price of the first, knowing there might be a surprise under the crud. Worked out OK, I'd say.

I've had my best luck at flea markets. But you have to check often, or develop a working relationship with a vendor to have them call you when they get something you might be interested in.
 
I live very close to one so I will start making more visits. I'm not having any luck at garage sales.
I need to buy these books every is telling me about.
