never seen one before, real small. good luck.
he also is selling some neat hammers.
Very nice , thanks for the post
Moly Mackerel that is cool!!
What a jewel!
yours Scott
Yeah...I'm in love...
Beautiful! Good luck if you decide to go after it!
Very neat piece.
Its out of my price range but its still not as expensive as I figured it would be. It will be interesting to see what it actually ends up selling for.
Neat item to have- Good luck!
I almost bought a big one, it was in bad shape too! bet that little bugger goes for a bunch!
Getting to high already for me but I will still keep an eye on the auction.
In a way I'm glad I didn't buy that old broken Star power hammer, but it was in bad shape! but it was the nicest red (original) Boy I'd be sweating this one out!
Whatever we do, don't let Art R. see this. I'd love to be rich enough to collect all the salesman sample items I've seen, then there are the Patent office models that come to light. So glad I didn't see this in a glass case somewhere, my wife wouldn't be able to tear me away, then would have to listen to me moaning about it for days.
I didn't notice it wasn't metal but a resin!
I suppose you could make one with the new computer printers, nothing like an original.

I saw that. "composite" I'm not even sure what they meant by composite. Some kind of plastic maybe. Could it be some ceramic or phenolic material?
Thats probably why it is non working.?.?
Chilly
somebody wants it real bad!...also check his sold items(vise,same material)
41 bids and $510 with a little over a day to go.
Ended at $570, way out of my that would be neat to have range.
