Good question.

Mine is on the shelf, still in the box.

I only took it out for inspection.

Maybe my grandkids can sell it 50 years from now and get my money back.

I saw one sell on eBay a year or 2 after they were made. I don't remember the price, but it was at least twice what they originally sold for.

Watching eBay, Kijiji, and the like should give you an idea of the range of value.

Not a collector, me; so I wouldn't pay over $120 (the cost of the new ones). But I imagine you can get more than that.

It's stainless. Those aren't made anymore. $120 is for cast iron.
Regardless, it is more of a collectible.

I bought one also. I was mesmerized by their beauty. Nevertheless, all of my tools must work and this one does, and well

Lee Valley employees were not allowed to buy them! A reason to quit!
