What sort of shape are the .5 friends in and are they the aluminum or titanium versions?
I would be interested in those two depending on your response.

Steve, it does not appear they are aluminum.
Condition? Fair?

You guys are a bunch of f*#king gear snobs. Nothing wrong with those 'old' rigid Friends. I still use mine all the time... Trust them as much as any of the new, sexy-looking gear... Maybe more.

Me too particularly in the Gunks where a tied off rigid Friend can take falls forever if tied-off. These new cable cams go bad after a few bombs over an edge and forget hanging belays while bending the stems out of a horizontal for an hour. However, I guess you get a nice rear view mirror ornament.

As a young man I had rigid stems, but alas, they are now flexible.
Like shooting pool with a piece of rope at times.

I still use mine, too.
I'd offer, but I already have 4-8 of each size!
The #1.5 and higher would sell for $20-25 each on ebay a few years back when I bought them there.

Back in the Gunks we used those things in horizontals, often the stem would stick out most of its length. The trick was to tie a loop of thin perlon through the slot where the trigger bar runs and clip that...

I think you meant perlon threaded through one of the holes on the
shaft between the axle and the trigger bar slot.

They are competitive in weight and action to any of the "disposable" stuff you can buy new today.
Why are you giving up on trustable tools?I have whipped and re-used solid stem cams repeatedly.
Some times you can do that with a cabled stem, sometimes,
But not often.
