This kinda thing just ticks me off, and I'm in a rather snarky mood today. So I fired off the following email to the seller of the bowl:
You really need to check your facts ... The Tonga Room at the Fairmont in San Francisco is still very much open for business. http://www.tongaroom.com/ There are certainly more than 10 of those bowls in existence, at least six of my friends have them in their collections. Also, it is way over-priced. The average price of that bowl in a better economy was $125. You'll be lucky to get $100 for it now. And the little gold OMC sticker doesn't help the value much. Any collector knows it's easy to simply take one off a lesser mug and stick it on another.
But hey, if you don't mind blatantly making sh*t up to sell something, I guess that's for your consience to deal with.
