This vintage tool is made with solid metal construction. It is in good shape and works perfectly well. It comes in its original box. (Box ends are missing.) Instructions and elastic bands to use with it are readily available through the internet. This is probably the strangest thing that I’ve ever listed on E-bay. I’m selling it on behalf of a friend who’s grandparents once owned a farm. Thank you for taking the time to look over my auction listing. Anyone wishing to return this item for a refund, must return it in exactly the same condition as it was sent to them.
