Jon;
If you compare Lefever catalogs with those of other Co's you will see that list prices on Lefevers stayed constant, during periods when other Co's were dropping them for a given grade. In pre-LAC catalogs an E grade hammer was listed @ $100.00. In the last LAC catalog published an E extractor hammerless was listed @ $100.00. Seems as competion arose, they up-graded the grades rather than lowering price & would than as need dictated add a lower grade with a lower price to take the place of the older one.
