Dearborn dirt Scoop? -- Value?

[8nstyle]

Ran across this treasure while helping a nice lady out. Her husband, along with several people on this forum, were a huge help with my own 8N project. I"d like to take this home but want to want to pay her a reasonable price. Any information on this scoop and its' value would be appreciated. I assume it"s Dearborn. Correct me if I"m wrong. It appears to be in good shape. Bucket is solid with no major rusting.

Thanks in advance

A new one is about $375......a fair price would be $125-175 adjusted up or down by what you feel the help both given and received was worth.

I bought one about 10 years ago for $100.
Sold it about 2 years ago for $150.
They work good and I used it a lot.
I found a Ford scoop which is reversable which I like better. Paid $175 for it.

Dearborn is better than king kutter as the "double knee" action will not cause you to high center. They work well.
