In 1975, the min wage was between a buck and two bucks an hour. If there was

price times about five. About $400 or so?

They were listed in a made in the USA list someplace.
19 oz, straight claw, waffle head, magnet nail holder, available with
18" curved hickory handle.

anybody still framing with driven nails? is this practical, or just
a nice piece of furniture?
