I'm not so much looking for an appraisal as I am trying to start a discussion about values.
Ag wrenches are often brittle and poorly designed so they are often found with a broken ear or two.
Now on a $5 wrench that's fatal, and the wrench becomes fodder for the antique mall or low wend swap meet.
But suppose it's a better wrench?
How much does a broken ear de-value the tool?
here are two wrenches
one is a Wiard star wrench the other a Moline WP241
Each with a broken ear.

the star might be worth $100 if not broken, how much now ?
$50 $10? $90?
the moline is a $40 tool , now it's?
$5 $10 $0?
Opinions?
