Ah, the dreaded word "vintage"

[MBTcustom]

The word vintage just aint enough of an apology for this item:

Kind of brings a tear to the eye, don't it?

At least the tool/handles looks decent.

"Some surface rust." The man is a master of understatement...

There was an interesting quesion posed on the machinist forum I'm on..........

Regarding surface rust,

Exactly how deep does the "surface" go?

To an engineer, "surface" is an infinetely thin, two-dimensional concept. You make an excellent point.

One mans Vintage is another mans garbage. 310 dies are so thin, I think the answer to surface rust questions is: Right through to the other surface!

[Wayne Smith]

Yeah, when I first saw them it did bring a tear to my eye!

Along with vintage the seller should have mentioned they went down with the Titanic also.

I love that question...I vote it the Question of the day !

[Jim]

Believe it or not, somebody actually bought it!

I'd be embarassed selling something that looked like that.

Looks like one of the items brought up from the Titanic.
