    Just a look back

    Hey gang I need advice, I have an opportunity to acquire a Stanley #1 and a Stanley #2. Can anyone give me advice on what I should pay for these? I think the guy knows what he has and they're in good shape. I don't want to overpay, but I do want to be fair. Thanks in advance.
