So... I listed some gear on eBay today and had two people ask me about an old nut in the picture. Turns out it's a Saddlwedge (#5) nut, and apparently they're somewhat collectible? I found some info here here but that's it. What more can you tell me about them? And... Are they worth something?

Everyone should read the NutMuseum story. I got some Wedgefasts and Saddlewedges around yet and they are great for holding power. A smart design, ahead of its time.

I still cherish and use mine -- though my partner hates cleaning them.
