Crookes tube on Ebay

Thought I would post this here. This is the first one I have seen on Ebay. Too bad it is in Australia! The pin wheel is pained with color phosphors. When bombarded with electrons it rotates and is illuminated in color. Kind of works like a color CRT. This thing is pretty cool!!! This is one of the more simple designs of Crookes tube. I would love to get my hands on one of the bird tubes. Wonder if it is old or a remake?
