 I think I'll give Stoney first bid on this. Seems to be more in his realm.
Wonder if they pulled the golden spike with it ?

For that price the golden spike should come with it

CAST IRON???? Evidently, they know nothing of prying tools and how they are made. Could be wrought iron, but I'm betting it is forged (on a very large steam hammer!).

I have one of the smaller ones out in the shed. I'd let it go for $2499.00 since it isn't so large!!!!

You would think he could work the shipping into that price and still make a small profit...

I think we could make a genuine RR  spike removal rod for under $1,000... 

This fellow is a kick, He also has a $295 pair of ford pliers, a $950 piece of coal, and a $1895 book of QSL cards....

I think he has been sniffing too much creoste.

I went to an auction a few years back where they had a bunch of RR stuff.  If any of you remember, I posted pics of my haul on the old site.  I bought 6 or 7 of those for around 5.00 each and sold them all for 15.00 to 25.00 each.  There were about 40 more at that sale that I could have picked up for 2 or 3.00 each, but I was afraid I would ruin my truck springs.
