Looking for some background info on these 3 models because I am curious.
I see them pop up sometimes for extreme prices , what is so special about them ??
It is very clear that it is a O&K l651 , even the box is original O&K from NZG.
But they are sold as An American from Chelsea marine and a Northwest from Harrison.
They do not look even a bit like an American or a Northwest , so why would someone buy them.
There is also a shovel DuBOIS BROS black and red colors.
Who made these models ? , is it an original NZG paint scheme.
Or did someone made a series of repaints an if so who did this ?
Is it a very limited amount that makes sort of special and are there more colors.
I always wondered if I saw them , so who's got some more info ??
Asked the same question on FB some time ago , but not much of an answer , so ithought i go to real experts

Edit : in the mean time i found 2 at a german dealer , he is talking about limitid to 50 pieces , and 1500 euro !! 😳😳.
But he is not talking about a Northwest but only Harrison Co.
And the DuBOIS BROS Shovel that is also limitid to 50 pieces according to his info.

Eef,

You can easily confirm what I posted is factual if you simply register on their site. Then you can review past auctions and view the prices realized. I am a registered bidder with the company and did participate in that auction (and picked up several pieces) but DID NOT bid on those travesties! I cannot imagine any "real" equipment fan who would put money into such farces, but that's just me.
