Default Prices

Taking into account inflation, those prices today would be roughly $30.00 and $50.00.

But when you look at the buying power of $1.50, which was basically a days pay for the average person, they were at the time quite expensive.

Does anyone have a pic of each of these variations side by side, so that at least the difference in finish can be appreciated?
Thanks
