It looks like the same basic design as mine and it's in good shape too. I like the lucky dog swivel on it. I put my lucky Dog swivel up on my regular platform, shortened the chain and have been using it. Believe it or not it works really well. It has a few nuances that you have to get used to but it is great for "Bible Style" bagging.
If they would ship this unit I'd recommend someone getting it if they have the room to mount it somewhere. I found out the chain adjustment has to be just right for the bag to rebound right. So if you have a smaller bag you'd have to lengthen the chain so it hits the ring on the sweet spot.

I noticed that since the Lucky Dog swivel chain is a lot heavier duty that a smaller, lighter bag doesn't work very well. Whereas the Nonpareil one is much lighter gauge and it doesn't seem to affect it. But back in the day when these were being used I doubt they had many small, light bags. Judging by the pics I've seen of that era they seemed to be all fairly large and heavy looking.
