Boy if that thing could talk.

It would say “run away! SCAM”. Seller has no cred, ship it from Istanbul Turkey for $100? I don’t think so. No belt covers, no vise, no tool holder, who knows what’s up internally and there are no linkages on the ratchet box and the ratchet switch can’t usually go that far, meaning either mechanism is broke or missing. This was a donor shaper like what they used to do in the Air Force when you couldn’t get parts to keep the front line in the air.

Yeah I wouldn't buy it. I just thought it interesting of the history of it if indeed it is in Turkey and has been in the US military.

I don't know how many Atlas shapers the military used, but mine also has that same air force tag. I suspect used for training given the amount of wear.

Mine won't talk either, must have been involved in TOP-SECRET work.......
