Just ordered this one today. The guy had 6 to start with. Never been used. I think he added the little leather handle to it, since it seems to be too big for the opening of the hole it is in.
I have a feeling, but if it's not really vintage, I'll use it, rather than display it!

So, is this a faker too? Perhaps it isn't.... Oh that's all I ever get is fake vintage stuff. :/
I believe it's original. maybe 25-40.
many versions were made in this style
It is authentic. I do not know of these being reproduced. Only the more expensive openers are reproduced. The leather strap is a watch fob strap. It would never have been used on an opener.
Amazing that you can tell this is original based on this one blurry photo. And the guy had 6 of these? Hmm...Red Flag is a flyin.....
I feel that flag whipping me in the face. :( It has to be a repro. for him to have 6!
