Yes, 3 3/4.  Couldn't pass it up for a quarter!  I don't particularly collect these and I have to imagine they're desirable given the "tiny tool" fad.  It's available for a decent mechanics tool trade (Bonney, Plomb, etc.)

I have/had a customer at Flywheelers who is a gunsmith, he would buy all the small drivers I could find...but only if they were made in Germany. He would regrind them to fit specific screws on a gun and then reheat treat them. Said the German stuff was superior to the US made ones.

Unfortunately he now has a complete set

Hello, I thought I might have a few around here, so I dug them out . The shortest at top is 4", the longest at bottom is 6-1/8". Regards, Lou

I have a set of these that I've ground the faces flat on for gunsmithing.
They are usually pre alloy malleable and with the taper ground off will bend before they damage an expensive, hard to replace screw.
