When I was working on the King Herrington Auction I kept finding combination tools I had never seen before. I discovered that he had made most of them. He was good at it, you almost had to know they were modified to be able to tell. Here's the catalog link to eight of them.

Bus, with those if you lost one you lost all your tools

I would rather have tools I never use, than to need a tool I don't have.

You said you worked on the auction, do you recall what any of those one of a kinds brought?   That gives me encouragement to go ahead and make an 8-10in. adjustable, since I can't seem to be able to afford a factory built one.

I have some of Bus's price lists, they are *Very Interesting* reading...
It is surprising what some seemingly ordinary things are worth, as well as
how much some very interesting exotic looking things are *not* worth...

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
