Possible Baldwin clone?

So I found this guitar on eBay, but unfortunately lost the battle:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harmony-Guitar- ... true&rt=nc
Was too optimistic and banking on the reserve not being met so I could get it at a lower price, alas someone decided the guitar was worth $1500. Do y'all think I should have gone for it past $1500? The Buy It Now was $2000
To the main point:
In my sorrow, I found this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Mahogan ... 4897.l5666
It says it's one of the Harmonys made for Sears. Would this suffice as a substitute for the Baldwin 801cp? It does say it's solid mahogany instead of the spruce, but it does look like the H174 or 177 (even has a similar rosette to the 177). Anyway, y'all think it'd be worth it? After getting a bridge to fit a Prismatone and, God help me, finding a Prismatone I or II, and getting it all set up, about how much is it gonna run me?
