The bottom is roundly concave and I'm wondering how old it might be and if it is the first version. It's detail is very crisp, its in great shape with only minor paint rubbing at the ends of the bone and it has the OMC sticker. I got the dealer from $18 down to $12 for it; he actually cited what several on ebay were bidding at (I phoned a friend and checked his facts) and $12 seemed like a good deal. I hadn't even wanted one of these till I saw it up close and personal. Man, what a neat thing to look at! Did I make an impatient purchase or did I do OK?
