hey guys...i'm looking at picking this Hay Budden 129 lb. up this weekend...It looks to be in pretty good shape but I know some of you guys would know much better than I would. I'm looking at spending around 300. I have been patiently waiting a while for one to pop up but here in Norther Mexico aka the Rio Grande Valley (Brownsville, TX) the art of BS'ing is limited to those who can tell tall tales. I know there's gotta be a few blacksmiths around here somewhere but alas I haven't been fortunate enough to find them.
Anywho...I've gotta drive a little ways (4 hours) to pick this one up so I'd like you guys to look at it and tell me what you think.
Thanks!!!

"On one side reads : "HAY BUDDEN BROOKLYN 129 . On the other side is the number 106. Near the front handling hole is the number 5. On the front near the bottom is the numbers 191195. It has a good rebound and a nice ring to it." from the seller
