Check it out. :)

Reading your evocative history (as opposed to the factual but dry bluebook info that I relied on for so many years to buy and sell), makes me ashamed that so many of these old squeezers and their close cousins were relegated to the bottom of my bargain case with hardly a second look and with sub-C-note tags attached.

A great-uncle actually persuaded two gentlemen of bad intent to go away and quit bothering him about money, by presenting a nickle-plated pair of them across his handlebars. Only took once, to get the point across.

They are actually quite usable little poppers, allbeit a long way from our current 'stopper' guns.; 8:47 AM, October 26, 2010

"Or is it more along the lines of "boy, that is nifty!"?"
