SGTMaj., I just dug up a Conte tower w/a lighted staircase.It's big w/a huge terrain base.I was told only 3
were ever built.Any info on same? What are our towers worth?
Back in the day I followed Conte like a blood hound and I never heard of a tower with lighting.

Yup,mine does.Is your tower also equipped with a staircase? Randy
Any way you can post a pic of this, I would like to see it
thanks

Tom,I still owe you a Trophy Alamo water bucket!Just sold my Conte viking ship.Would love to sell this critter as well.Am selling my entire collection (everything);Crusades(castles from everyone who made 'em),
F&I,Rev War,War of 1812(thousands of figs),Alamo,and billions of Civil War pieces.Stop over to Buffalo some time and wallow in this wretched excess. Randy

That sounds like a Carl Klinkermeyer conversion where he paid some poor sap 50.00 for the tower, added stairs and lighting and then flipped it for nine grand.............that's got Klinkermeyer special written all over it.
You sir are absolutely spot on as to the source.(Although the 9 grand figure is a tad off).Actually it's
been so long ago that I obtained this piece,I forgot what I paid for it.(Hell,I have yet to set it up!.
The terrain base that the tower sits is highly detailed and imposing as well.I reached R.Conte's wife
today to exchange pleasantries and info on this piece.She added nothing to it's mystic.I will try E-Mailing
Mr.Conte .Hopefully I can add more substance to the storied item.
