I will bid, but with a Buy It Now at $125, I bet I don't win.

That one was in pretty sweeet condition to go under $50??
I am surprised you didn't take it.
 
I want one of these too.

Oh well, I once saw a classic watch fob monkey. It had a yellow (old ivory) cell handle.
It was so perfect mint it was still attached to the cardstock it came on, by a colored ribbon.
Compliments of somebody or other.
  So mint nobody else noticed it.
  It sold for 10 bucks whilst I was asleep at the switch!

is where I was. Honestly, I wasn't sure it would sell much higher due to the hole in the handle.

I will be more aggressive on the next one that pops up near my range.

Don't be too disappointed at losing the smaller T & L Gem wrench.  Some clown had drilled a hole in the handle.
