Day 48: Empire #48R Giant Stride Swing Replica by St Paul Steam

I was going through this thread looking for "Empires" I might have missed.  I have to say (sure I have said it before) this Giant Stride Swing by @St Paul Steam is a fabulous reproduction.  While I have an original I wished its seats where green and not ivory.  I wouldn't change mine, ever, but that doesn't stop me for wishing for it to have green chairs.  It just makes so much more sense (especially when I know the ferris wheel's chairs are green).

I recall one coming up for sale and I almost put my hat into the ring, kind of regret not giving the effort.  I think this replica is pretty special and has a proper place in a Empire collection.

I don’t remember any replicas going up for sale

It was about a year ago when @St Paul Steam put it up on eBay - after I won my original one.  Or I am pretty sure he re-listed it and it sold.
