I have noticed that the asking price of Doo-Dads has risen considerably since I bought my first one back in 1891. While Doo-Dad accessories were in common use up until 1899, it seems that they were almost extinct by 1901.
Now, 110 years later, you can find a few "Bubbaized" Doo-Dads, and even one in rough condition is avidly sought by collectors who are willing to part with the price of a case of 24 Budwieser Lite for one, and it is almost impossible to find one in Excellent or Unissued condition.
However, I must chide the OP for his lack of pictures of the Doo-Dad involved, considering his experience and the number of posts he has made on GunNutz. He should also know better than to start a Thread on a Sunday Night, having regard of his physical state after a week-end of debauchery involving alcoholic beverages and Women of questionable Virtue.
My Crystal Ball gets mis-aligned during windy days, and it is always windy here in Manitoba. How can a person tell if the Doo-Dad is a Mark I, Mark II or a Mark II************** if there is not a good picture of it and the markings on it?

In great Soviet Motherland, doodad was made as tribute to glorious leader Stalin from superior pot metal and woodchip. Assembled by finest illiterate peasant labour in world, such things are worth many bottles of vodka in good conditions.
Wait now... I thought "What's my Doo-Dad Worth?" was scheduled as the noob question for Fridays, not Sundays...
The only Doo-dad worth anything is the one in the origional box and cosmoline: too many Soviet ones from behind the Iron Curtain and modern ones from China. Heck, Norc had the Tacti-cool Doo-Dad and Mossberg had the Shotty Doo-dad out for 2012...

'K... WTB; willing to pay large $$$ for a Thing-a-ma-jig. Any model, but preference toward British or North American manufacture. Russian Tzarist will also be considered. Please no Norinco or Kyber pass Thing-a-ma-jigs. I don't mind if the Thing-a-ma-jig has been soaking in Ed's Red or covered in cosmoline but it must be free of rust.
I have both stainless and blued Whatchamacallit's for trade if that works +or-$$

I have a thingy that does stuff. Whats it worth? Pretty sure its ex-army so that makes it worth more right? It has several proof marks including "junk" and "do not use". I saw one at a gunshow for $5 but mines better so I think $50 is reasonable. Id trade for some stuff but only good stuff, like peanut butter or cookies. Pay with cookies and you get a free carrying case marked "thingy Mk II 1944" and an instruction manual. Shows all the stuff you can do with a thingy like opening stuff and making bombs/coffee. Even coffee bombs.
I'll trade you a Blued Whatchamacallit for a cookie. You pay the shipping, and since you mentioned peanut butter, It'll have to be a peanut butter cookie {my favorite the pirate type}.
deal?

Is it wrong to bubba a Doo-dad if there are scads of them around? Should you dewat a Doo-dad if if it's a Doo-dadadadadadada and you can't own prohibs?
Back when I was drinking (some say I was a whatchamacholic) I got my thingamajig in a girls doohickey, and was scared I was going to be a Doo-dad for weeks. Turns out you can't get pregnant that way.
