Let me guess..you were the guy with the $16 and change bid on those all
week?  I came in with about a minute to go at $85 and got hammered by 3
other guys

Bloody things are very very uncommon.  For all of the brace tool tools I
have and had (let's go into 4 digits on that count) I have had exactly 2 of
the cherries.  One I sold about a month ago for about twice the per bit
price of this lot.  I have a 2nd one someplace (well I'm pretty sure I know
where it is), that is a more a usable size, (very close to a 1/2" or 50
caliber).  I'll hang on to that until I can score one in the .60 range.

They were used for a number of things but most commonly they were used for
making bullet moulds

Todd I'm sure can fill you in better, he's got a thing for these too
