There is a Spintite nut driver stand up on eBay if you guys are interested. Not mine just remember you guys were asking Bird about hers.

It is a different style than the wooden & cast iron ones I've seen -- wonder what the vintage is for this one -- post WWII or newer?

Interesting question. I have never seen an aluminum one before.
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Could someone have copied one?

Perhaps, but the country went through a kind of fad with alumnium for a while, making things out of it that didn't really make any sense other than the fact it was the latest and greatest thing..

The aluminum one is shaped differently than either the iron or wood ones I've seen (the wood one has a bronze colored metal I.D. plate ). Time to do some advanced google book fishing & maybe get lucky there or in some hardware wholesaler's catalog.

I have seen a lot of wood holders for spinite, but never aluminum.
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.
