Happy weekend, all!
Being in need of a little extra money, I've decided to part with one of two of my Root Briars. I'm having great difficulty because they are a perfectly complimentary set. One is tapered, one is a saddle bit. One has straight grain, the other is covered in birdseye. One has a narrow chamber, the other is wider. One is dark, one is light. One is from 1962, the other from 1975.
I would be swayed a little more toward one or the other if I knew one was of more value than the other, but I wouldn't know very well how to price either one. Some Roots seem to sell for $500, others for $250.
If you were in my predicament, which would you keep, which would you sell, and why?
Thanks for the advice,
Steve
