Original prices of classics

There has been much discussion of prices of horns, e.g., recent Selmers are overpriced, and some things are too cheap to be believed. I would like to know/ start a discussion re how much these horns originally sold for. For example, How much did the Selmer Mark IV alto cost back in the late 1950s? $199.95 or something equally insane? You hear terms like Chu Berry [?] or Cigar Cutter, etc., but how much did these things cost back -- during the Great Depression or whenever? "Mr Sax's latest invention, the sax-o-phone, is an interesting novelty, but it is certainly not worth TWO Norse flugeltubes ! " Indeed.
