    Old American Entrenching Tool

    Hey everyone, I found this E-tool in my neighbor's yard and asked if I could have it and now it's mine. I looked for any stampings on it and I found some that say---U.S. AMES 1967.

    My questions are;

    Is this a military E-tool?

    How much is it worth in it's current condition?

    Thank you all!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    No offense intended but you couldn't give it to me. It's pretty much trashed, throw in your trunk in case you get stuck someday...

    I bought two of then for $15 twenty years ago and they were about new. This one isn't. But it IS an E tool...which is what you also asked.
    Regards, Jim
