Back when I had cattle in the 80's and 90's, I had one just like that. When I decided to get out of the cattle business, I gave the one I had to my nephew, along with all my bands, as well as the ear tags and the tag tool. Then, when we got back in the cattle business about 5 years ago, I had to buy new ones, and it's got plastic handles. I dropped a few hints around my nephew, but guess he never caught on.....lol.
