A deal like this can't last long... (insert sarcasm smiley)

So am I missing some rare collector detail or is this just a regular, everyday $10 pipe wrench?

The only thing special about could be the RR markings, but still not worth the asking price, IMHO

Wow, high price if your asking me. It sure aint in my budget.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

I have a couple of athols that I would sell for less than that and to me there is no better made wrench.
when i get a buyer that says he knows wrenches i show him these five and ask him to evaluate

hehe, I rather like the Billings, just because of the strange shape. But, yes, If i had to use the wrench every day, the one next to it would probably be the user....;P

As to ebay, with that gawdawfull photo i wouldn't goive hin $1.25 muxh less 125...yeash

One of the mysteries of ebay, you are trying to get $100 for something, but it's not worth 2 minutes to take a proper picture?
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

They arer ight to left
coes--billings--athol--coes --billings
most people pick the large billings as the most expensive to buy
second is the jack knife handle billings
and it makes a difference if i put the billings side by side along with the coes the same.
every one has their own taste thats what makes tool collecting great
there is always that one tool that feels right in YOUR  hand that no one else likes.

The one in the middle is the "ringer".
Same value as about 66 of the others, put together.
