I have a very old "Boot Jack Phrepicator" from the 1950s that my dad bought for me at a hobby shop on 78th and Portland in Bloomington, MN. A few years ago I found a brand new "Phrepicator" in a hardware store up here in Northern Minnesota. The new one was made by Tools, INC. My old one was made by Boot Jack Inc. of Champaign IL. I can tell you the new one does not measure up to the old. I can't believe the quality of the old one, it just keeps going and going! By the way it was not new, when my dad bought it for me, so I have no idea how old it really is. These items are very difficult to find now-a-days! However, if you need to phrepicate, you need one of these (and who doesn't need to phrepicate, if you are a model railroader)? I'm not sure if Micro-Mark still carries these or not. I would suggets tool flea markets as your best bet.
