Its from the war period. Not rare, but hard to find. This one is a little pricey.

Uhm, isn't that a bit contradictory?

Maybe she means that there are lots of them but they are all hidden in garages and basements. ? I dunno.

I thought is was interesting, because I've never seen on like it. I thought it was a bit pricey as well.

O.. I see, thanks.

Or: they are hard to find, but there is not a lot of demand.
Or: its like the Craftsman spin ratchet, there are a lot of them, and there is a lot of demand
Rare does not mean its worth a lot.

He-he, also old doesn't necessarily mean it is valuable. The sad part is the CL poster will keep listing it forever until he/she figures out a realistic price.

Is there anything that makes this ratchet undesirable?

The price.

 

[snapmom]

Its crude, has the war finish, I have seen this rat sell for more than 100, but usually it sells for 50-75. There are much nicer SO roundheads for the money. Its more of a collectable.
