Bassassin Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Mann was a Canadian import brand known for their range of MIJ copies in the 70s. They were never sold in the UK. Which is cool because this is neither a Mann nor is it Japanese - it's an Italian-made Melody from the same era. A bit more interesting than the MIJ Grabber copies and a bit less common - mostly because they all seem to fall to bits, like this one is doing. Interesting to see but he's having a laugh starting this at £200 with its comedy collapsing neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it went for £70? I was well chuffed with that - not something I wanted to keep!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'd probably pay £70 for a reasonable one just out of curiosity & to get a look at one. Doubt I'd hang on to it long though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
