Ed,
Not sure what your actual question is. This could be a steal, if you don't get into a bidding war.
Indeed it could be a steal, that was my whole point.
Ed that does look like the buy of the century if it stays low. Like Steve stated, it would be a good deal if a bidding war does not start. I also noticed that they can extend the auction if they do not like the bids. It will probably end up around what a 100# is worth, somewhere in the neighborhood of $4000 or more, especially since it seems to be in good shape.

Ed,
From all appearances it looks like a good one. I'm with Brion on the price, $4000 would not be unreasonable for this hammer.
Remember only 1600 100# hammers were ever made. They are becoming sought after.
Good luck and let us know what happens.

Also notice that he has set a reserve. I'm sure he has a good idea what it is worth, and set his reserve pretty close. If the bidding does not reach his reserve he probably won't sell it.
