The only historical comments that I have almost has nothing to do with your inquiry, other than the possible pool of purchasers.

The 1920's were not economically depressed.

However, there was a terrible plague of influenza just before the 1920's in which very many died - thinning out the population and possibly reducing the quantity of potential buyers.

Otherwise, I would suspect than then - just as now - not a high percentage chose extravagances such as these.
