I'm looking for a few NOS Nicholson USA made, vintage files in the 8-12" range. I've only seen them on Ebay for ridiculously high prices.
I know the Nicholson USA made files are becoming rare, so I'd like to buy a few lathe, flat bastard and mill bastard files. Ebay sellers want from $20-$45 for a lathe file.
What is reasonable to pay for Nicholson USA? Is it worth the money or should I just look at Grobet? New Nicholson made in Mexico files are just to soft.
$200 for 4 files seems a bit exorbitant.
