All the same, you were right when you said it wasn't worth the asking price.
I notice that the two frames are only similar to each other (cheap plate ends, heavy tubing etc) but different lugs finish and brazings; I suspect the 'Criterium' transfers were used pretty much at random - and you certainly wouldn't want to ride a crit. on one of these!
To give credit where it's due, the elaborate finish on the first of these would be worthy of a much better frame and it's survivied about half a century without tarnishing - remarkable, but pointless.
