>I took out the first http/ in the link so it worked for me. I am wondering what the question is ? You must not have realized the high book value back in '98 was $1600. This is just one example of how good clear pictures that show the details of a good quality tool will bring a much higher price on the 'bay than fuzzy dark pictures that you can't see if the thing is rusted to pot or not.

Yep... It's for reallies

>Interesting, I've seen nice ones go for up to $1500 sans "professionally filled hanging hole" and maybe less japanning. Rougher ones in ~$1100. $2200 with 4 days left is a new high for me.

>Yeah. The rarity and value-to-collectors of those is why LN made it fairly early on in their list.

LN's early product strategy was to clone (for users) tools that were rare and/or expensive on the s/h market.
