There are four basic variations of those old Single-Sixes with the Flat Loading Gates. Most follow a pattern and fall into "groups" of Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV.

Did you happen to jot down the serial number? That price is a good one.....

If you can get the serial number, you can get pretty close to what type it is. They are as follows:
Type 1...1-2000
Type 2...2000-24700
Type 3...18600 to 51500
Type 4...49000 to 62000

Then there is the flatgate Tri-Color Lightweight, but you probably saw the all-steel version.
