The top one was carefully broken in (used) so it is worth more...

I found one sold it on eBay for 125.00. Very rare.

The top one, the one for $75, ships from Mt. Airy, Maryland. Isn't that where Bratton's is located? HMM, very interesting.

I got mine from Gaslight Auto Parts perhaps 30 years ago.

Thanks for posting this. They were a neat idea maybe 30-40 years ago. I bought a couple but never used them. I think I might still have them some place in my stuff. Didn't think they were worth anything.
