I have two with appropriate cross handle. Slicker'n deer guts on a door knob!<G> As for value, I'd say it's value is similar to that of an olde Knabe of similar condition/age/etc., in your area. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I _______________________________________________ Joe, Thank you,and good point about the machinist,but my cost was under 20 bucks and I don't have contact with a machine shop .Guess I better look into that.As for the cross-handle configuration of the original tool, I found it easier to manipulate with a longer handle to one side. Tom
