Helicon and Helleberg

With the astronomical prices things have been reaching lately, I thought myself remiss for not mentioning that it looks like there might be an early Helleberg on this 1917 BBb Conn helicon

Yes, but the second post, the one the replies have focused on, relates to a current auction.

... and, oddly enough, that's EXACTLY what the vendor did (split Helleberg and helicon), though I doubt it was my post that caused it; more like the rush of buyers who asked if he would do so...

Strange, this Conn seems to be getting some attention, where as the Conn USQMC Helicon has been on there for sometime without a buyer. Anyone have an idea why?
