Model T wrench by Diamond?

[Papaw]

I have also curtailed my listings on Ebay, but there is no other place to get the exposure you can get there, and I don't foresee anyone coming up with one soon.
I decided to let sales here on Tool Talk grow, but am cautious about it because I don't want to be in competition with them. Thing is, here we are focused on tools alone, and Ebay is open to anything.

Yeah, I stuck it on for giggles. Don't expect any bids, but if you want it, I'll stop the auction. Even give you the tooltalk fellow member discount on shipping.

I thought I sent pics to you....losing my mind....trying to list a few pieces here and there to generate extra funds for "other" pursuits.

Thanks Keykeeper for the offer but i am not sure i want to go down another avenue of williams wrenches. Contract production wrenches could be a never ending prusuit.

Model T's had the 1" sparkplug opening and Model A's about 1-3/8".

Bus,

That's great info I did not know. Always wondered how to tell difference. Thanks.

BTW the Model A's were not marked with the Ford logo after the first few months of the first year of production so the ones with the larger openings that do have the logo are actually pretty scarce.

Yeah Bus, they sure put a hurtin' to any of the small sellers. They are interested only in volume and profit. I've maintained 100% positive feedback since day one and they reward the ripoff artists with this new feedback policy, I can't even slam a non-paying bidder. They own paypal, so all fees are in ebay's corporate pockets, and now no choice as to what kind of payment you can take. It's almost a dictatorship. Really is sickening. I try to stay away from there, but haven't found anywhere else that gets exposure for what I list like it. It used to be the world's flea market, now it's like so many other places...full of cheap crap imported from who-knows-where. Someday I hope there is a better venue available. Really, my main reason to use them is to try and realize top value for whatever I list, but I'm thinking of just listing what I have to sell on my own site yet to be built. If I lose out on a great windfall, so be it. I'm tired of corporate desk setters determining what is best for the people that made them their fortunes, by constantly changing the selling environment to suit their whims, all the while further killing the little guys on there.

Ebay does have its good points for buyers. Most of my medical lasers come from ebay. Without them I would be SOL
They don't have a used laser store anywhere around here.LOL
But I have heard a lot of sellers complaining lately. Mostly about PayPal forcing them to use it.

Yep, feeling like a dumbass! I guess I've not gotten to the era of text messaging!

I don't use texting at all either.

I put one of those curved Ford wrenches on my woodshed door. They make great door handles.

I like that idea too! I am gonna have to do that myself.
