Getting on up there ...

[DIYGUY]

I wonder what these cost new? I wonder who would pay this much money. :lol:
Some people have more of that than common sense I believe. Don't fall out of your chair when you see this ...

Being a former resident I thinkI think I am qualified to state that the fact it is located in NJ has inflated the size of the starting bid number. In any case that is an insane price.

I think that fellow may be a little delusional!!!:goofy:

I'm gonna have to reconsider the value of my shop tools :wconfused:

Do I hear $1000 for my Stanley :biggrin:

I think I spy a small chip on that one Roger, reduces the price dramatically you know:lol:

That guy must be mad, but not as crazy as the person that buys it!

Patrick Leach has them pegged at over $1k and those comments are more than a few years old.

The important features are: It's a 90A and not a 90 and it's stamped MADE IN U.S.A. (rather than England, I presume). Sort of the 1856 Flying Eagle cent of planes...

I don't know the difference between a 90A and 90. It is stamped with made in USA and SW (Sweetheart) on the blade, but is clearly different from the one in the link. :cry: I've cleaned up the rust and worked on sole and blade since the pix. However, it needs a little more work. And as David noticed, lots of the nickel plating has chipped off.

Do I hear $999 :rolf:

I just cleaned out some old containers and threw one of those away. I'm leaving for the landfill right now!!!:saw:

 

[Steve W]

That looks like a 90 and not a 90A. Sorry to bust your bubble, Roger.:lol:

Like the difference between a 1957 Chevy 4-door vs a convertible.

 

[Gotcha6]

I wonder if he'd consider a trade for 2 - $2,500.00 hand saws?
