Dave,
When you're talking onesies, that's rare, even if it ain't that old. For
instance, Grumman made lots of their Tigers. But I bet you'd be hard pressed
to find one still flyable. Probably several residing in museums though.
Don't know how many Tigers they made in '26. I seem to recall it was more
than one, but that may be wrong. I agree both the Tigers are rare. The
original Sunbeam Tiger is older. It's the one I'd rather have, if I had a
choice and the resources. (The Harrington Tiger, again IMHO, is somewhat
ulgy.)
