I GOT A GREAT E-BAY SCORE ON A COUPLE OF LARGE 281 SIZE BROWN & SHARPE INTRAMIKS .
FINDING NICE USED ONES CAN BE LIKE A MINEFIELD .
I HAVE SEEN PLENTY OF THEM THAT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE USED TO DRIVE NAILS ! ( WHO WOULD DO THAT ? )
OTHER TIMES , THEY ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER BUT HAVE CRIB ENGRAVINGS ON THEM .
THESE LATEST TWO IN MY COLLECTION ARE 4.000"- 5.000" & 5.000"-6.000 RANGE .
THEY CAME FROM A LIVE AUCTION AND I GOT THEM FOR $140 & $150 .
THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY NEW OLD STOCK & CAME IN THE ORIGINAL BOXES
WITH THE FACTORY LITTLE RED SCREWDRIVER , WRWNCHES & TOMMY BAR .
THEY HAVE NO ENGRAVING AND THE HAMMER FINISH PAINT IS PERFECT .
THEY WERE A BIT STIFF FROM SITTING FOR PROBABLY 30 YEARS BUT
LOOSENED UP NICELY WITH A BIT OF KROIL & ELBOW GREASE .
ALL I NEED TO DO NOW IS BUILD A MAHOGANY BOX THAT HOLDS THE MIKES ,
TOOLS , ACCESSORY 6" EXTENSION AND THE B&S 4.999" SETTING RING .
I AM DONE BUYING MIKES . THE CABINET IS FULL AND THE WALLET IS EMPTY .
