Title: Amazing ad and price on eBay
Post by: Branson on August 22, 2011, 09:37:38 AM

Item 290401103453  "Antique Old Fuller Made in Japan Pliers Tool 6.5" Long "

I guess if they were rusty they would be "primitive" as well as antique.  $5.95 shipping, starting bid is $10.

Don't know whether to laugh or groan.

From the 70s or 80s. "Antique", huh?

Dang then most of the tools I use are primative.

Hell, that makes me the product of an archaeological dig by college interns discovering the promise of uncompensated labor. 

Now folks can listen to me creak discuss if I have oxidation or patina.

I'm from the '60s. Guess that makes me ancient?

I know I am antique- born in 1942!

By the way- the State of Texas recognizes my 1978 BMW motorcycle as an antique.
