    Just wondering if anyone has seen this brand? I think it might be Bethlehem Steel Co. but I'm not sure...
    Any help appreciated,
    Best regards,
    Walt

    I thought so, and after a bit more searching, I found some references to Beth S. Co. and railroads. Again, many thanks for the information.

    Any idea what it might be worth? I picked it up for $7.50 at the local Salvation Army. I may have over paid, but I liked the way it looks and functions....

    $20-$30 I guess, if ebay completed listings are any indication.

    Thanks, I had it listed, but knowing what it is, I think I'll keep it...

    It should perform equally as well as a door stop, paperweight, or small boat anchor.

    I build my own lapidary saws, and I think I'll use it to hold the swing arm in the upright position. Should work well for that.....
