This is the best of my recent finds. I bought it for a mere $10 at an antique tool show (It seemed out of place, but you don't see me complaining).

Check it out:

yeah I really like how it simulates picking a real door. I have picked it to the control shear line many times, but I havent picked it to the operating shear line.
