Hi Vern-
 
I am going to take a wild guess about item #2 and ask if you are referring to a Bell System 544A booth light tool? If so, it is probably worth more than what you have listed it for.
 
The tool has a triangular insert that was used to remove a set screw that prevented a light bulb from being removed from telephone booths. This was when light bulbs were fairly expensive and were frequently being stolen from telephone booths.
 
I have included a photo that I lifted  from another site.
 
Please let me know if I am being too presumptuous and you are actually referring to another item.

Yes this is the one. I know it is underpriced. Thanks for thinking of me.

You have to create a new reply to add more pictures.

About 6 hours after creating a post or reply, the ability to edit that post or reply ends, the edit window for that new post or reply closes, thanks to kb from a bit more than 6 years ago.

Hello Vern, is the 500 still available?  Been looking to swap my ivory out with a black one, would happily support someone in the community in the process!
