I have the eagle (4 colors) and two different Justice ladies. The eagle is rated by Seymour as between $200 & $299 each and the Scales of Justice chips the same--though I would sell my Eagles for less and the Scales for more. The Packet is valued between $400 & $499 - the Fastest Boat is the reverse to either Packet. Someone has a mess of eagles; the Scales are more difficult to get and I would dearly love just one Packet. I once had a chance to buy an ivory for $25 labeled something to the effect, "Will Pay $50, N.O." and on the back the name of the Mississippi River gambler. I only had $22 with me and the dealer wouldn't take a check; Sunday so I had to drive miles from the out door show to find an ATM; got back the guy was gone. Dale Seymour's book (Updated by Kenny Craig & Ralph Strandvold) is the best on ivories. There are a number of major ivory collectors including Benedict & Passalaqua who can "chip" in with additional information.
