Agreed. If it was worth more, somebody would have bid higher and bubble-wrapped everything for the trip home.

I wouldn't give you ten bucks for that whole pile. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

If you're referring to me, that's incorrect, I ignore a lot of foreign made hand tools and spend the extra coin on American made stuff whenever it's practical, despite the extra cost. I am not a collector of any sorts however, so I tend to spend my money on equipment that was built in this century.

What American made and designed saws have you bought that were built in this century?

You didn't specify saws, you said equipment. I wouldn't give you $5 for ANY American made saw, it's all antique *s-word.

Comment above is what a wife would say if husband brought home another saw.
Forums are like that though. Instead of supporting and encouraging someone who shares in the same hobby/interest/passion people go to bashing cause it's from the wrong country, or it's the wrong brand or the wrong color or its not "pro" grade model.
I feel for ya Bill. I like your purchase and your passion for saws and equipment, please don't change.

Sadly many folks see the "Made in USA" or "American made" label and falsely believe it. I challenge anyone to take a look at this century as @Lions fan referenced and find a piece of equipment, designed, manufactured, and built in America with parts that were designed, manufactured, and built in America.

The label is irrelevant.

I don't have a clue what your getting at, and I'm not sure you do either. Have a good evening, and enjoy your boat anchors. I'm out.

I have not heard of Crown. I will have to look them up. What size do they manufacture?
