The people who put up cell phone towers are always looking for these.  I always get the cheap ones at the flea market who will not pay 10.00 for a decent wrench.  I guess I need to Ebay the next ones I find.

Theres always been low to mid market for spuds, but this guy is advertising AB's probably knowing that they'll sell to the AB collectors.  I'd like to see a better stamp in the description before i'd bid.  I think theres a shiller involved.

Do they have the name stamped on them?  Or just ABI?

Those spud wrenches have a high price without question. Better yet just look at the cost of new ones. Or if you really want to see something pricey look up striking or slugging wrenches.

An AB mark is the same as Harley Davidson or Snap-on.
 There is no pricier collectible mark and anything so marked sells for several times its value, if not marked.
