Rare sheet metal tool

For those that care, I spotted these on ebay:

Those are rare? I'm sure they don't make 'em like they used to, but... ?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=228013

Hate to burst your bubble here but each and every link you posted leads to a tool with straight blades inline with their handles. The ebay link shows a tool with the blades 60° OFFSET from the handles. Using the straight bladed tool, try turning a 90° flange in an opening smaller than the length of the tool.

You're right in one aspect, they sure dont make them like they used to. Got anymore links?

I personally like old tools, but offset seamers aren't rare.

McMaster-Carr has offset seamers for around $35 if I remember correctly, brand new, good quality.

Hand made seamer, made for the union. That sure would be a rare find. However, as I'm not a collector, I'll continue my drab, boring life. And continue to use the seamer I got which was made by Vise Grip.
