Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Schedule of estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment | These assets are recorded at historical cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method of depreciation over the estimated useful lives as follows:
| Estimated Life
Buildings | 25 to 33-1/2 years
Building improvements | 10 to 25 years
Machinery and equipment | 7 to 12 years
Tools, dies and auxiliary equipment | 3 to 8 years
Furniture and fixtures | 3 to 12 years
Schedule of reconciliation of shares used in calculating basic and dilutive net earnings per common share | We present two calculations of earnings per common share. "Basic" earnings per common share equals net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. "Diluted" earnings per common share equals net income divided by the sum of weighted average common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares that are anti-dilutive are excluded from net earnings per common share. The following is a reconciliation of the shares used in calculating basic and dilutive net earnings per common share.

Weighted average common shares outstanding – Basic |  |  | 22,812 |  |  |  | 22,795 |  |  |  | 22,557 |

Schedule of antidilutive securities excluded from computation of earnings per share | The average shares listed below were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented or because they were excluded under the treasury method.
