Selling Barry King, Gore Tool, Robert Beard, Chas Smith, Bill Woodruff

[dprezgay]

I've been a member for a while but never posted anything. I have been trying to put together basic tool sets that I could loan out or take to Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops, Girl Scout Troops and other organizations. The idea came to me a few months back when my old Cub Scout Pack asked if I knew where their leather tools were. They ended up finding them but a lot was missing. I offered to loan them some of my tools so they wouldn't need to spend several hundred dollars to replace their's. I contacted a few Packs and found that they had similar problems. Nobody really kept track of them, and when people left the unit the tools disappeared.

An idea was born. What if I put together sets of tools, each in their own toolbox, that I could take to the Scout meetings and run a mini course for them over 1 or 2 meetings. If there are 6 boys then I would take out 6 toolboxes along with a variety of alphabet sets, 3-D and other stamps and tools needed to complete a project or two. So I started buying stamps and tools as I could afford in order to start getting stuff together.

Well, to make a long story short (too late for that), I bought a set of tools on ebay and spent more than I should have, according to my wife. I planned on reselling only the duplicates but I decided to sell the more expensive tools to help me buy more of the inexpensive tools (Craftool). Also I'm not that good yet and if I used these I would get spoiled and not want to use the tools I already have.

I have the following tools that I would like to sell but am not sure of the value. Feel free to make me an offer on them, one or all. Or just tell me what you think they are worth.

See photos below.

6 Barry King Stamps - The 2 boarder or meander stamps in the middle are the same as the ones above them except for the size. Also it looks like I double stamped the top right impression so it doesn't look as sharp as it really is.

3 Gore Tool Stamps - The numbers are BG102 9, BG102 7 and BG102 5.

3 Robert Beard Pro Series Stamps - These are black.

2 Chas. F. Smith Stamps - The top one is lined and the bottom one is smooth.

1 Bill Woodruff Stamp - It is a checkered bevel stamp. I think it undercuts or lifts also.

Thanks,

Dale

Sorry I'm trying to figure this out.

Here is a side view of the Bill Woodruff.

if you can get someone to pay up for them probably $400-$500, the problem is that most leather workers who are willing to pay up probably already have most of those designs. The Woodruff probably has some collectors value. You should shoot an email to Bruce Johnson, he could probably give you a better picture on price in the second hand market.

@dprezgay  You have people interested in tools you listed.  Should I close this thread and move it to old/sold?
