>AFAIK only the frog and casting are unique on that tool, and (being cast iron) they're quite resistant to rust damage.

Dave Thompson


>That one's pretty rough, and there are a few nice ones available right now. I'm going to guess $150. If it's mate was with it but in the same condition, I'd guess $500.

Given the use the amount of use these get, most are in pretty good shape, unless they've been used as a boat anchor.

Didja notice

Neal in San JOse


>Essentially everything she has up for sale is purple. Could this be a trick of lighting? Or, maybe she just thinks purple paint will inspire higher bids. It will be interesting to see how high her stuff goes. If it works out for her, maybe I'll get out the spray paint and "thin the herd".

>is doing her in. The camera software expects the image to average to gray, but the huge wash of yellow throws it significantly off. Unfortunately, if you shoot in JPEG mode, this is a pain in the butt to correct really well after the fact. Not to mention it throws the eye off anyway.

>Well, either they got a diamond in the rough or a parts plane. Had she been a bit more descripive she could of gotten a lot more coin for it no doubts.

I bet Todd about went out of his mind when he saw her write up eh? Nobady I have ever seen on e-bay can do a write up like Todd can. He leaves no question a buyer could have unanswered, and gives alot of background info. I really enjoy his write ups.
