Y'know Doug, it HAS been known to happen! The Horrors!

There is no "Rule" that says otherwise, despite the number of folks that have so kindly offered.

Maybe this one isn't really worth being concerned about!

Or maybe threads such as this, should be deleted ASAP and the posters IP address banned?

Man, if that’s actually the price old Armstrong holders are getting, I’m glad I chucked mine into the back of a cubbyhole and not the scrap heap.

Yeah, maybe they should, but that wasn't the point raised before, was it?

If the guy logged in here for the sole purpose of pumping his wares, he has other problems to deal with.

Was just sayin' that there ain't no such rule, and maybe the price is just what is...

WTF?

Learnt how NOT to single-point thread on one of those abominations. Good outcome was I then HAD to learn HOW to do that the proper way.

Given they weren't worth the least fraction of a damn in 1960 for their intended purpose? Mind, it were in mild steel, not plastics nor shiney-wood.

Why would one REALLY expect that to have improved off the back of merely aging them in waxed paper in pasteboard boxes?

Surely would not expect any greater success than turning urine back into beer just because it had sat 67 years in a covered Dixie cup.



Did I forget to say "WTF?"

WTF!

I have them new in the box...I have both Armstrong and Williams.. I bought them on Ebay years ago for peanuts when the kiddies got the idea that only Aloris tools work anymore.....I have ones I don't use and ones I do... Hope my wife doesn't find out what the asking price is or I won't have lathe tools anymore.. Cheers; Ramsay 1
