266372 Anthony Seo 2018‑08‑20 FS: Aug Around List B
The second list for the august month of August.  we've had so much rain 
around here that I'm starting to rust.. sigh.  Lots of fresh goodies 
including some good carving tools and an assortment for every trade and 
taste.

PayPal is now accepted and preferred (if you use it) on all items.   On 
items less than $25 (not including shipping) I would appreciate you 
using the Send Money to Family & Friends option so I don't get killed 
with the fees but that is your call. Checks and money orders are still 
welcome, it just seems that 1st Class letters seem to be taking forever 
to get from there to here.

And remember........da more ya buy, the cheaper they fly!

First contact (that is e-mail, or phone)  that says I want it gets it. 
Oldtools terms, except on items and orders over $100, if I don't know ya 
or haven't done business in the past (and my records good way back..) 
then it's pre-pay.  I do take PayPal (except as noted).  Prices do not 
include shipping.  All items are shipped with Delivery Confirmation. 
Insurance, unless it is a big order or a very fragile item is optional. 
Just let me know.  Also, I  am shipping a lot more stuff via First Class 
mail.  There will be a small amount added to the shipping cover the cost 
of the padded mailer.  I don't get them for free.

Please put your name and address in the message.  Saves time and email 
traffic!

Fresh Arrivals

Vintage Wood 12 Inch Panel Marking Gage Or Gauge.  The beam is 12 13/16" 
long, the head is 5" wide, and this weighs 5 1/2 oz unboxed.  Not signed 
as to the maker, there is a user name stamped on the top of the head. 
This is in reasonably good condition, the only cleaning was a wipedown 
with some wax.  The beam is good other than a couple of tiny dots of 
paint and it is straight.  There is a small hanging hole at the end. 
The point isn't super long but there is enough there to make a mark. 
The head has some stains on the underside of the fence but no wear to 
the fence area.  The threads on the locking screw are good and it does 
it's job.  All in all this is a good looking tool that will get the job 
one.  $28.00

Four Vintage Boat Caulking Irons.  The first one is not signed, 3 7/8" 
long, 1 1/8" wide across the edge, the second one is a C S Osborne, 4 
3/4" long, 1 15/16" wide across the edge, the 3rd one isn't signed, 7 
1/8" long, 1" wide across the widest spot, the last one is signed but I 
can't read the mark, 7 7/16" long, 9/16" wide across the edge, and they 
weigh 1 lb 6 oz unboxed.  These are in well used condition and were 
cleaned.  The first one has been ground down a bit and the edge has a 
ding on it.  The edge on the second one is good other that a light ding 
and the third one is good as well.  The blade on the last one is bent a 
little at the tip and there are some grinding marks on the tip as well. 
The striking buttons on the first three are mushroomed down and the 
Osborne has a couple of cracks around on the edge.  The button on the 
last one is good.  These ain't pretty or minty and they do have some 
issues but they are working tools priced well below what I can get for 
good ones.  $45.00

Buck Bros 1/2 Inch Carving Tool Chisel.  Measuring 4 15/16" from the 
edge to the top of the handle, the blade is 3 5/8" long, this is 9 5/16" 
overall, and this weighs 2 3/4 oz unboxed.  This is in used but good

coloration from being heat treated at the factory but nothing bad patina 
wise.  This is sharpened to a knife edge and that is good and sharp. 
The back of the blade was never finished off pretty to start with.  The 
handle is good and has all of the original finish plus a coat of wax. 
All in all this is a good tool that is ready to work.  $17.00

Vintage Sorby 6 Inch Miter Or Mitre Square.  The blade is 6 1/4" long 
and this weighs 4 1/2 oz unboxed.  The mark is faint but I can make out 
Sorby and a Maltese cross mark above the name.  This is in decent 
condition and was cleaned.  There are some spots of rusting and pitting 
on the blade but that has most of the original gray finish.  The edges 
and corners are good.  The handle is mahogany.  That has some wear to 
the edges and the bottom corner is chipped.  There is some stains and a 
couple of thin checks as well.  This ain't minty but it does have some 
age to it.  $20.00

banged up but the joint is good with just a little wiggle.  The handles

overall and was not cleaned.  There are a few light scuffs on the sides 
but nothing too bad.  The edges are good other than a little red 
staining from the box.  The box lid has a ripped corner and some wear.

on the upper part of the head but nothing down by the edge.  The edge is 
good other than one tiny ding and it is  sharp.  There is some crusty on 
the inside of the head but the blades are also sharp.  The center point 
has a little wear but there is enough to make a mark.  The tang has some 
dings on the edge.  This ain't pristine but this is not a very common 
size to find one of these guys in.  $23.00

Two W Rose Phila PA Hand Forged Stone Brick Mason Pointing Tools.  The 
upper one is 10 1/4" long (straight across), the narrow end is 3/16" in 
diameter tapering to 3/8", the wider end is 1/2" in diameter, the lower 
one is 10 3/4" long, the narrow end is 1/4" in diameter tapering to 
1/2", the wider end is 7/8" in diameter, and they weigh 1 lb 13 1/4 oz 
unboxed.  William Rose & Bros started making brick laying tools in 
Philadelphia PA in 1798 and branched out to leather and other tools and 
the company is still in business today.  These are in reasonably good 
condition for the age and use and were cleaned.  Three of the faces have 
some frosting and staining, the other one is bright with some stains and 
was used recently, but there is nothing bad there at all.  These are 
solid and well made tools and you sure ain't going to buy tools of this 
quality at the hardware store any more and Rose is a collectible maker. 
Just saying.  $28.00

decent condition and was cleaned. There is some light pitting and 
frosting on the blade but it's clean right at the edge.  The back and 
the shaft also have some light pitting.  The handle is good, other than 
spot where the finish is worn.  This ain't perfect but it will get the

Vintage Small Perfect Handle Screwdriver.  Measuring 3 15/16" long, the 
tip is 3/16" wide, and this weighs 1 oz unboxed.  There is a maker's 
name but it's too faint to read but I can sort of make out Germany which

condition and was cleaned.  There is some pitting on both sides of the 
blade but the tip was never messed with.  The shaft and frame are good. 
The handle scales have some stains but they are solid and on tight.

neat tool.  $17.00

Old Cabinetmakers 4 1/2 Inch Ebony Handle Try Square.  The blade is 4 
7/16" long, 2" high, this is 6" overall in length, 4 1/16" high, and 
this weighs 5 1/4 oz unboxed.  This is signed but the mark is too faint 
to read and there is a user mark overstamping it.  This is in decent 
condition and was cleaned.  There is some light frosting, pitting, and 
rust etching on the blade.  The edges and corners are good.  The handle 
looks to be ebony but it could be very dark rosewood. There are some 
thin checks running down both sides and the usual dings and light wear. 
This is close to true but it's not perfect.  Just saying.  This ain't 
minty but considering the age it ain't all that bad.  $15.00

other than some staining and the edges are sharp.  The handle on the 
upper one has a couple of thin checks under the ferrule and both have

sweep is clean other than a few very light dots.  The edge is free of 
chips but it will need a sharpening.    The rest of the blade is good. 
The handle is also good and has the original finish plus a coat of wax. 
These bigger deeper cut gouges are sure getting few and far between.  $27.00

now.  This is used for making the nail channel in a horseshoe, that I do 
know.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  There is some 
overall light pitting.  The striking face has some dings and a little 
mushrooming.  The face is good other than the patina.  The eye is shaped 
a little funny and there is a small void at the back corner but it's not 
cracked that I can see.  This ain't perfect but these guys sure ain't 
been showing up very often at least around here.  $17.00

good condition and was cleaned.  Inside the sweep is clean and the edge 
is good.  The rest of the shaft is good other than 3 tiny notches for 
identification.  The handle is the original one and that is good other

tool and one that is ready to work.  $19.00

up there, and a few stains and dots running the rest of the way but it's 
clean for the most part.  The edge is good and sharp.  The rest of the

was never struck.  The handle is the original one and has most of the 
original finish.  There is some staining and a few dings but it's solid.

cleaned.  There ain't nothing at all to fuss about with this guy.  The 
blade is shiny and sharp.  There is a little bit of the protective 
coating showing at the toe.  The tote and saw nuts are as good as they 
get.  This is a quality tool made by an well respected English saw maker

There also is a little funky on the one sawnut on the front and some on 
the nuts on the back, (these weren't stored in a very nice place.) 
Nothing worth kicking the cat over.  If you are looking for a top 
quality back saw, you can't do much better than this for the price.  $60.00

This was made after 1955 when the company was located in Danville VA. 
This is NOS, that's New Old Stock, and was not cleaned.  This wasn't 
stored very well and there is some funky to the finish on the blade but 
this was never used.  The tote finish is good.  This ain't 100% minty

Other New Old Stock Tools

Four Nicholson 5 Inch Bandsaw Blunt Files.  They measure 5 3/8" along 
the sides across the teeth and they weigh 1 lb 1 oz unboxed.  These are 
NOS (that's New Old Stock). I did take some rust off of the tangs and a 
couple of the tops.  There are a few light spots of rust on the teeth 
but these are like 99% clean.  The teeth are all nice and toothy.  These 
are top quality files and are priced cheaper than anywhere else even 
with the shipping.  Do the math.  $28.00

Rabone Chesterman 10 Inch Sweep Brace.  This weighs 2 lbs 12 1/4 oz 
unboxed.  The Rabone and Chesterman companies merged in 1963 and were in 
business until 1989 when Stanley bought the firm.  This is NOS, that's 
New Old Stock, and was not cleaned.  There is a touch of patina there 
and there from setting around but nothing too bad.  The grip and pad are 
plastic and they have a few dings.  The ratchet and jaws are good, 
although it could stand a touch of oil.  This ain't the fanciest but 
this is a good heavy duty brace.  Note:  I also have an 8" sweep one 
available at the same price.  $24.00

Four Marples Blue Chip Paring Bench Chisels. Left to right, there is a 
1/4", a 3/8", a 1/2", a 3/4", and they weigh 1 lb 4 1/2 oz unboxed.

are straight, any bending you see is because of camera lens distortion. 
There is little light funky and couple have some light rust spots from 
laying around but nothing worth kicking the cat over.  The handles have 
some scuffs from being knocked around.  Note: The ones you get might 
vayu slightly from the pictures.  These are quality chisels by one of 
England's top tool makers. $52.00

unboxed.  This is NOS, that's New Old Stock and was made in merry olde 
England.  They don't get much better than this.  It sure can't hurt to 
have a spare.  $15.00

Two Lufkin Machinist No 40 Series Calipers. On the left is a 3" No. 41 
outside caliper, on the right is a 4" No. 42 inside caliper, and they 
weigh 2 1/2 oz unboxed. These are NOS, that's New Old Stock. I did clean 
off some oil residue on these (they were oiled at the factory). There is 
a little still up in the joints and there and here. The tips of both of 
them have a few stained spots (these weren't stored very well). Lufkin 
machinist tools are every bit as good as their Starrett and Brown & 
Sharpe cousins.  $20.00

Two Cabinetmakers Shave Hooks Or Shavehooks.  These are 7 5/16" long, 
the triangle blade is 2 7/16" across the edges, the other one is 2 3/8" 
high, 1 3/4" wide, and they weigh 9 3/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to 
the maker, but I know for a fact that these came over from England in 
the 1980's.  These are NOS, that's New Old Stock.  But they have been 
bouncing around boxes for a while.  I did clean some light patina off of 
the shafts and a few small spots on the blades.  The edges had a few 
light dings that I fixed with some file work.  The handle finish is good 
on both.  These are quality and handy tools.  $15.00

F G Person Sheffield 3/16 Inch No 5 Sweep Carving Tool Gouge.  Measuring 
4 3/8" from the edge to the top of the handle, the blade is 3/16" wide 
across the edge, this is 8 1/2" overall, and this weighs 1 1/4 oz 
unboxed.  Francis George Pearson was Sheffield England edge tool maker 
in business from 1821 until 1905.  This is in good condition overall and 
was lightly cleaned.  The inside of the sweep is clean other than a few 
lightly stained spots.  The back is good as well.  The handle has a few 
stains and dings but that is solid.  Person while not a common name over 
here was in business for a long time and you didn't stay that way by not 
making quality tools.  $17.00

Brown & Sharpe No 748 Machinist Speed Indicator.  This weighs 4 1/2 oz 
unboxed.  This has the Nov. 28 1922 patent date but I can't find the 
patent number for it.  This is in reasonably good condition and was 
cleaned by someone else.  There is some light patina on the head but 
nothing too bad.  This rotates freely but could stand a drop of oil. 
The index knob works as well.  These model is a lot less common than the 
Starrett speed indicators, I know I sure ain't seen too many of them.

Pexto No 3 Rivet Set or Setter.  Measuring 4 3/4" long, the post hole is 
1/8" in diameter, the dimple is 5/16", and this weighs 8 3/4  oz 
unboxed.  This is in reasonably good condition and was cleaned by 
someone else.  There is some light patina on the machined surface of the 
head.  The face, dimple, and post hole are all good.  This may have been 
repainted, I can't say for sure.  The striking end only has a couple of 
very light dings.  This is a good looking and quality tool by one of 
America's top tool makers.  $17.00

H Disston & Sons 26 Inch Langdon Miter Box Saw.  Measuring 33 1/2" 
overall, the blade is 26" long, 5" high from the edge to the start of 
the back, this is sharpened to 11 PT CC, and this weighs 3 lbs 14 3/4 oz 
unboxed.  The medallion dates this to the 1917 - 1940 time period and 
was made for the Millers Falls Langdon miter box.  That mark is faint 
but can be read.  This is in decent condition overall.  The only 
cleaning I did was to run some steel wool over the blade and some wax on 
the tote.  The blade has some staining, scuff marks from the miter box 
guides, and a few dots of light pitting but nothing too bad.  The blade 
has a very slight bow to the edge (1/32") but for a saw of this size, 
that's acceptable.  All the teeth are present and this is fairly sharp. 
The apple wood tote has some staining and dings but it's solid.  This 
ain't minty but these guys rarely are.  $35.00

Neat Early Hand Forged Square Face Cross Peen Hammer.  Measuring 13 3/8" 
overall, the head is 5 1/16" long, the face is 3/8" square, the peen is 
7/16" wide, and this weighs 6 3/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the 
maker.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  The head has some 
light patina and there is line of deeper pitting on the underside of the 
peen but it's not cracked.  The face is good other than some tiny dings. 
  The peen is missing a piece and I did dress down some rough edges. 
The handle is the original one.  That has some stains and dings but it's 
solid and the head is on tight.  This ain't perfect but it is a pretty 
neat hammer to say the least.  $26.00

Three Stanley No 26 Screwdriver Bits For A Brace.  There is a 1/4", a 
5/16", a 3/8", and they weigh 5 oz unboxed.  The first two have the 
vertical mark with the model number and size, the last one has just the 
horizontal Stanley mark.  The first two are in good shape and do not 
look like they were used much.  Somebody thinned the blade a little on 
the last one and there are some pliers marks  on the shaft above the 
tang.  So that one has some patina but putting these sets together sure 
ain't getting any easier.  $17.00

Vintage C Drew Cast Steel Wood Handle Box Scraper.  Measuring 13 3/4" 
long (straight across), the blade is 4 5/16" wide across the edge, and 
this weighs 1 lb 4 3/4 oz unboxed.  C Drew was a long time Maine tool 
maker.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  There is some 
light patina on the head.  The blade has been sharpened a few times over 
it's long and storied life, but there still is some left to work with. 
There is some mushrooming on both the outside and inside on the top of 
the blade.  The handle has some dings and stains and there is some wear 
or chipping on the turning at the end.  The tang goes all the way 
through the handle and is peened over a washer at the end.  This ain't 
pretty or perfect but it is a very collectible old tool and one that 
does not show up very often by this maker.  $32.00

L S Starrett No C303R 6 Inch Machinist Flex Rule & Case.  This weighs 
1/2 oz unboxed.  This is ruled in 32nds and 64ths on the front and 10ths 
and 100ths on the back.  This is in used but reasonably good condition 
and was lightly cleaned.  There are light scuffs on the satin finish and 
a light shop mark on the back.  All the rulings are readable.  The edges 
are good, the one corner is dinged.  The case has some light funky but 
it's solid.  This ain't minty but for the price, it sure ain't bad and 
it is a handy rule.  $16.00

Vintage C S Osborne Wood Handle Tapered Pipe Reamer.  Measuring 5 1/2" 
long, the blade is 1 5/8" wide across the top, the handle is 4" wide, 
and this weighs 4 oz unboxed.  While C S Osborne is best known for their 
leather tools, they made tools for a variety of other trades over the 
years.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  The back of the 
blade has some spots of light pitting and some scratches but it's clean 
for the most part.  The inside was never finished off real pretty like 
to start with.  The edges could stand a sharpening but they are good 
with no chips.  The handle has some dings and stains but it's solid and 
on tight.  I gotta say that I sure haven't seen too many of these around 
by this maker.  $18.00

Millers Falls No 48 Clark Pattern Expansive Brace Bit & Box.  This has 
both cutters and this all weighs 8 1/2 oz unboxed.  This is in used but 
good condition and was cleaned.  The tool is good and the lead screw and 
main blade are sharp.  The small cutter is good to go, the larger one 
was sharpened at some point and could stand a touchup.  The box lid has 
the original price on it and some wear.  The paper tape on the one 
corner of the bottom part of the box is loose.  This ain't minty but it 
will get the job done.  $18.00

Craftsman Push Screwdriver.  Measuring 8 3/8" long when extended 
(excluding the blade) and this weighs 8 oz unboxed.  Made In West 
Germany.  This is the same size as a Yankee 135 push screwdriver.  This 
is in good condition and was not cleaned.  There is really nothing to 
fuss about patina wise.  The plating is good and the handle finish is 
perfect.  This works just fine.  This comes with 2 straight and 1 
Phillips bit.  The larger straight bit has a very slight twist at the 
end, the others are good.  This ain't the fanciest but it is a good 
working tool and looking tool.  $17.00

face is 1 11/16"  wide, 1 9/16" high, the peen is  1 11/16"  wide, and 
this weighs 3 lbs 5 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  This is in 
decent condition and was cleaned.  There are some dings, scratches, 
light cut marks, and a few spots of pitting on the body.  The face has 
some light dings and wear but nothing too bad. The peen is good.  The 
eye is also good to go.  This ain't pretty or perfect but it will get 
the job done.  $24.00

Three Millers Falls No 30 Chisels.  The first one is a 3/4", the blade 
is 2 15/16", the middle one is a 1", the blade is 3" long, the last one 
is a 1 1/2", the blade is 3", and they weigh 1 lb 7 oz unboxed.  These 
are in used but reasonably good condition and were cleaned.  The blades 
have couple of dots on the back and the fronts but nothing too bad at 
all.  The edges are good and sharp or pretty darn close.  The red 
Permaloid handles have some scuffs and light wear and somebody drilled 
hanging holes so you won't have to do it.  The striking button on the 
3/4" is banged up a bit, the other two are good.  These ain't perfect 
but they sure ain't bad either and most of these I see look like Buck 
Rogers built two spaceships with them.  Just saying.  $50.00

Early Stanley No 62 Marking Gage.  This weighs 4 oz unboxed.  This isn't 
marked other than the patent date but these guys rarely were.  Good ole 
Justus A. Traut of New Britain, CT was granted Pat. No. 334,308 on Jan. 
12, 1886 for the design of the fence used on this tool.  Figuring 20 
years for the use of the patent date, that puts this guy between 112 and 
132 years old.  This is in reasonably good condition and was cleaned by 
someone else.  He also hit it with the shiny stuff.  The beam has some 
dings from the screw and a few stains but nothing too bad in that 
department.  The head also has a few light dings and stains.  The 
locking screw is good.  The screw for the point does remove and the 
point removes as well.  That could stand a quick sharpening but there is 
lots to work with.  This ain't pristine but having seen my share of 
marking gages over the years, these guys rarely are when they get to be 
this old.  $23.00

Vintage Meier Germany 13/16 Inch Barbers Straight Razor.  The blade is 2 
7/8" long across the edge, 13/16" wide across the edge, and this weighs 
1 1/2 oz unboxed.  This is in reasonably good condition and was not 
cleaned.  There are some dots of rust on both sides of the blade but 
nothing too bad.  There is a spot on the top as well.  The edge is good 
with no nicks but it could stand a sharpening.  The handle scales look 
to be celluloid.  Those are good other than a few light scuffs.  The 
joint is a little loose as is the spacer at the end of the handle 
scales.  This ain't perfect but these wider bladed models sure don't 
show up every day.  $30.00

Millers Falls No 214 Saw Set Or Sawset.  This weighs 1 lb 4 oz unboxed. 
  This isn't marked but it is a 214 with the Sears paint job.  Identical 
tool, slightly different color scheme.  This is in used but reasonably 
good shape and was cleaned.  This has all of the original finish but 
there is some staining mainly on the front handle.  The plunger tip is 
good and the anvil doesn't show much in the way of wear.  That is marked 
from 4 to 16 as far as TPI goes.  The screw on that works and was oiled 
as was the fence screw.  This ain't the fanciest, but for the money, it 
sure ain't bad.  $20.00

Two Vintage Wooden Level Sights.  They measure 1 7/8" long, 1 3/8" wide, 
1 5/16" across the inside of the clamp area, and they weigh 3 1/4 oz 
unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker, these ain't Stanley No. 1's unless 
they changed the base area at some point and didn't bother to tell me. 
These are in decent condition and were cleaned.  There is some wear to 
the finish but most of it is there.  The screws that lock these to the 
level are good and the sight window and reference line are good,  These 
ain't the fanciest but these guys sure don't show up very often.  $24.00

Vintage Sargent 8 Inch Steel Wing Compass Or Divider.  Measuring 8 1/2" 
long and this weighs 5 oz unboxed.  This is in reasonably good condition 
and was cleaned.  There is a little patina there and here, mostly on the 
insides of the arms where the wing is located.  The joint is good and 
the locking screw and fine adjustment nut both work.  The tips are sharp 
and good to go.  These guys were mainly made for trade schools but it is 
a good working tool.  $18.00

Early Hand Forged Small Face Blacksmith Flatter.  Measuring 8 7/8" 
overall, the head is 2 11/16" long, the face is 1 5/8" wide, 1 1/2" 
high, and this weighs 1 lb 5 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker. 
This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  There is lots of patina on 
the head (that's how I know it's early eh?)  The face has some dings, 
mushrooming on the sides, and is slightly rounded from wear.  The 
striking end has some chips, a little mushrooming, and I did zing off 
one sharp bit on the one corner.  The handle is old and has the usual 
stains and a couple of long dead worm holes.  That is just shoved into 
the eye and the head wiggles a little, but it's better than no handle 
(unless you want a 2ft one..)  This ain't minty but it does have some 
serious age to it and it sure ain't ready for the scrap pile just yet.

Early Hand Forged Ball Peen Hammer.  Measuring 12 3/16" overall, the 
head is 4 1/4" long, the face is 15/16"  wide, 7/8" high, the peen is 1" 
in diameter, and this weighs 1 lb 2 3/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to 
the maker.  This is in reasonably good condition and was cleaned.  There 
ain't much in the way of patina on the head.  The face and peen have 
some tiny dings but nothing too bad there.  The handle was put on by 
someone else and they left some scuff marks on the top of the eye.  The 
handle has a few stains but it's solid and on tight.  I gotta say, that 
I sure don't see too many of these old dawgs around in this kind of 
shape.  $24.00

1/4 oz unboxed.  These are marked as shown in the picture.  The figures 
are like a Courier font.  These are in used but good shape and were not 
cleaned.  The 0 figure has a little wear, the rest are good.  The 
striking ends have a few light dings but nothing too bad there.  The box 
has some staining and a few dings but it's solid.  These ain't minty 
perfect but they sure ain't bad either.  $23.00

Early Hand Forged Adze Eye Cross Peen Hammer.  Measuring 13 15/16" 
overall, the head is 4 15/16" long, the face is 1/2" in diameter, the 
peen is 9/16" wide, and this weighs 12 3/4 oz unboxed.  There is a user 
name stamped on the side of the eye which might be the maker.  This is 
in decent condition overall and was cleaned.  The head has some light 
patina.  The face is good other than some scuff marks and was dressed at 
some point to get rid of some mushrooming around the edge.  The peen is 
good other than some dings.  There is a line on the top and underside of 
the peen but it's not cracked, just something that was left over when 
this was forged.  There is a crack on the lower front edge of the adze 
style eye but it doesn't run too deep.  The oval handle is the original 
one.  That has some dings and stains.  The head wiggles a little but 
it's not going to come off.  This is what it is, but these guys sure 
don't show up very often with the original handle.  $22.00
