I thought the same this one is rough but all there. My 2 are all I need plus after Browns I'm BROKE!

Too rich for y pockets.  I'll stick with plierenches. 
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

It will be interesting to see what it finally sells for.  Fortunately I got into mine at a very, very reasonable price.

I think the highest price I have seen one go for is at one of the MVWC auctions several years ago. One sold for $1,200. I would let mine go for that.

Dad gave me his -- the one pictured in "the book" --  I've also got one of Jim Keats' working miniatures ( Jim said he made 10 copies ).  One of the pleasures of being MVWC newsletter editor is being able to share tidbits like the news snippet that finally identified the manufacturer.

The Allentown, PA connection is interesting to me, since I picked mine up at a 'once a year' flea market about 30 mi. or so from there.

I have one of Jim Keat's miniatures too. I had mine modified before he modified his to add the locking stud for the swivel function. I picked one of mine up from a NJ collector.

Mikeswrenches, Did you get yours at one of the CRAFTS auctions?

Les, I got it at a Grange flea market near Lehighton, PA.
