hidepounder Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Bruce, I know what you mean...those little treasures one finds from time to time are really gratifying. When you find one you feel like you just won the Lotto! I picked up a CSO twist handle draw gauge on ebay a short while back (I just like those for some reason). It was misrepresented and I got it for about $50 + shipping. It was in terrific condition...just looked bad because of the unsitely patina that was on on it. Douglas sells those gauges for $150 to $200 a piece! BTW, I have a Buchman head knife that I really love. It is very thin and stays SHARP! Rob really bought his tools right! That was one of those great finds! Ben, thanks for Evapo-Rust....hadn't heard of that. Bob Edited March 15, 2009 by hidepounder Quote

I am thinking about trading some of my Snap On tools for some leather tools. LOL I have lots of those Snap On tools as well and the cost is about the same.... As you already know quality tools cost. I picked up a little here and a little there. Most of mine have been through eBay over the past 10 years and a few trades here and there. Some came from leatherworkers leaving the business like Bob Dellis. Regards, Ben Edited March 15, 2009 by gtwister09 Quote
Members rgerbitz Posted March 15, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 15, 2009 Man, in the begining of this thread I was feeling pretty good about my buy. But now I am really regretting not buying the other 6 boxes of tools that were there. They all had about the same number of tools in them and none went for more than $90. This was at an estate auction. Rob Quote http://gerbitzquarterhorses.com/
