specialized Allen Tool Corp. (Syracuse, NY) Heavy Duty Facing Tool kit — likely a custom industrial machining tool used for facing, chamfering, or machining pipe/tube ends or large cylindrical workpieces. The instruction sheet and part numbers suggest it was made for a specific industrial application rather than general consumer use.
The key point: this was likely custom-built tooling, not a mass-market catalog item.
My estimate:
- Original new price (when built): approximately $2,000–$8,000+
- If made for aerospace, military, or production tooling: $10,000+ would not be unusual
- Current collector / industrial surplus market:
- Unknown use, incomplete: $75–150
- Complete with case and identified application: $200–500
- If a buyer knows exactly what machine/application it fits: $500–1,500+
The $100 asking price in your screenshot is not crazy. If complete and in working condition, it may actually be underpriced, but the challenge is finding the right industrial buyer.
The restored case and very clean condition add value. The Allen Tool Corp Syracuse NY plate and part numbers could help identify the exact application.
For flipping: I’d list it around $399–599 OBO on eBay with keywords like:
