That's what I was thinking Rich. I think it was at about $280 with 6-8 minutes to go.

Talking about the 67 screwdriver, how many of you caught the "67 BB screwdriver" at Carlisle??? Something like 12-13" long!! I can't remember (CRS) who it was that had it but I'm pretty sure he was a member here.

Re: 67 Screwdriver just sold!!

Are you going for the sellers story about the first 25 screwdrivers, I don't think the bidders did either.

My Great Grand Father would be proud of the mark-up. Most likely cost them 5 or 10 cents to make, sell to GM for 25 cents and everybody's happy. Now WHY did my Grandfather not go into the business with his Father? As the world turns. Bill Irwin.

I have no idea, but when I spotted that on the table, I had to take a pic. No one would believe me that a simple screwdriver would be worth that much!

I wonder if that's one of those "priceless" air filters behind it?

Re: 67 Screwdriver just sold!!

sucker born every minute and a fool is soon parted with his money, I would not admire someone who had an original screwdriver, big deal, I would just think they were missing a few screws and should use the screwdriver to replace them but to each his own

So I take it you are an Irwin from the Irwin Tool family? If so thats pretty neat. Bet you wish you had a case of them screwdrivers!

Re: 67 Screwdriver just sold!!

You think those are expensive, wait till you see the screws, especially the ones with the heads that were originally buggered up on the way down the production line......

Re: 67 Screwdriver just sold!!

What am I missing here? This has been in my toolbox and my father's before me since who knows when. Until now it was just a 50 cents hardware store throwaway. Not any more!!!

I just went downstairs to my home tool box and found another one with the Irwin and USA writing on it. My guess is that they are either larger or smaller than the "rare" ones. What a great country!

Jeff this is what you are looking for. It's overall, 10 1/2" long, 5" long X5/16" shaft and a 1 3/8" long furruel. The handle is to be made of seasoned hardwood.
I'm guessing but I think that Mr Irwin would tell you that when they made wooden handled screw drivers. They made them in all kinds lengths, stiles and colors.
By the way this is a original 67 bolt on screw driver.
