Eiffel plier
« on: August 29, 2019, 10:53:29 AM »
I bought an Eiffel plier wrench, no.8, made in 1936, for $5.  Over all in good shape.  Was this a good deal?

Sure. It probably says $5 on it.

You're right paw paw.  The flea markets won't be safe, till I find them.  The $5 is stamped on the wrench, that must have been a pile of money in '36!

$5 is a great buy!  The go for around $20+ on eBay.
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

I tried to sell three of them to sellers at flea markets this month, but they weren't interested, said they are not moving.

And so I will keep them and try to find some more.  Some people!
