That double screw one is interesting, and seldom seen.

Now's your chance to jump in.

5 bids later it is at $911.00

But there are only 2 bidders, it went all the way to 900 on automatic bidding, someone is in for a surprise 'P

Wow, I guess I wont be buying that one.

 Where are they coming up with these prices?? 

$1,282.47 now. 

 Condition is holding the price down. Looks like its missing retaining nut on handle end.

Second bidder took it for 1330.00

I went back to copy a photo of the double thread and reading the description, I think that the seller was totally surprised when this turned into a rainmaker.

I'm amazed at these prices. I wouldn't have given either of those wrenches a second glance. I wonder how many treasures I've walked past completely unaware?

Wow!!  I am on the lookout for that double screw wrench.

Must have been a either a movie prop or someone who really wants to stock up his knick knack shelf.

I must have played with hundreds of those back as a kid when my dad worked on the railroad.

If only I could find one of these...
