Re: Rebuilding 1950s picklock
I am leaning toward restoration but, may sell as well as is. It's a tough choice. Some of you may appreciate it more as I am still learning about theses.

I have sent it to Bill and he should have it, I hope, and can't wait to see what it looks like.
Bill, I emailed you and sent a PM, sorry I am just paranoid to make sure it made it ok. Tracking says it did.

Didn't get the email. I think it's out in the shop. If tracking shows it delivered, it's here.
I have been on a little vacation. The knife is here.
