Question

Gottlieb Grip Tester
My dad has a Gottlieb Grip tester that he believes is pre-1900. Could you please provide any information as to its value? Also, he is interested in selling this and if you could help me find a buyer, I would greatly appreciate any assistance you might be able to provide. Thank you so much and have a great day! June

Answer
June,

The grip tester your dad has usually sells for $100-300 depending upon condition.  If it is complete and works properly, I would value it in the middle of the given price range.  Email me directly at buck@nvc.net and I can help you sell it.  By the way, it is from the 1930-1940's era not pre-1900.
