    Yesterday in a thrift store I found a tire iron/lug wrench that I need for $1.60. Its like some I have almost bid on at ebay (at $70.00). It has the factory stamped "O" so I know its for a '50s Chevrolet & Corvette. Now, do I put it in the garage or the Morgan collection ... decisions decisions...:kewl:

    Reggie:
    I saw your psoting yesterday and have been thinking about it since then. During my musings, I couldn't stop wondering why Cherrypickers' has not listed this yet?
    Great find, but you may need to use ANACS since the (presumed) grease stains will prevent NGC and PCGS from slabbing it.
    Hmm, what is next? slabbed fenders?

    Humor is the best medicine. I've heard the O is stamped by use of a vice at the factory. A vice die ? ANACS it is...
