Yep, here it is... It took a while to get this to work ... This photo is from England... My question is this a Mills or a copy? Is it real or is it Memorex.

IT IS A MILLS CONVERTED FOR ENGLISH USE BY CHANGING THE COINAGE. IT USED THE OLD ENGLISH PENNIES AT ONE POINT WHICH ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE 50C PIECES. YOU CAN GET SOME ENGLISH PENNIES AT MOST COIN SHOPS OR SPEND SOME BUCKS TO RECONVERT IT TO TAKE 50C PIECES. OH, THE PAINT JOB SUCKS !!!!

Thanks for getting back to me. Yeah I just wasn't sure what to think. The paint job is bad for sure.
This time of year on EBAY and Craigslist there used to be really good deals because people were selling their stuff to have extra money for Christmas, oddly this year not so much. It could be ANYTHING... This has changed...
Now there seems to be a shortage of stuff. On YouTube the experts are claiming people are in record dept with their credit cards and cars are being repossessed in historic numbers. Plus, office buildings are on the verge of foreclosing just like the housing market in 2008... Not good not good... They say 2024 might be the next Great Depression... Then again, they say that every year... I don't know what to think... #-o
