It seems the smaller they are, the more they're worth.

I have a 12 inch Walden but I don't have an 8 inch. Sure would be nice to add one to the collection but not for that much.

Bob W. if you have a 8 inch Althol quick adjust and if it wants  new home I would like a chance at it. The 8 inch that I have seen before had a wooden handle. Is yours wooden or steel handle?

I have two Athols, and one STC, but all of them are about 6". Never seen any longer.

One of the first wrenches I bought on Ebay was an Athol Rapid Transit, and I didn't know what I had. I bought it for $5 or so. Later I put it up for auction at $30, and it sold right away. Then I researched it and discovered it was at least an $80 wrench!
I have since paid considerably more than that for good examples.
