Frist time Ebay buy

[MachineTech]

Although I'm not new to wrenching, I'm fairly new to this forum and kinda new to Ebay too. After looking, I have seen so many wonderful things there. So...yesterday I bid and today I won. Here it is, total with shipping $22.45. I want an honest opinion. How did I do? The ad never said exactly how old this was. Anyone know? # 71 - M

The date code should be to the extreme right just past the forged "USA"

Not bad! Now go buy more tools!

Elroy is right if you look at the pic he posted you will see what appears to be a 4 to my blind eyes. The are a few date sheets floating around here. Each year had a differently made number for it. The last date sheet I saw went up to about 2029 and started in 1927. Snap on aims on being around for a while.

I think you got a fair deal. I don't think it was a steal by any means, but you did pretty good IMO.

If I wind up with a new addiction, I'm gonna blame some of you fellas here on the forum!

I was talking to the Snap-On dealer just last week about date codes. He said they no longer use them. I was somewhat skeptical about that when he said it. Anything to this?
