howardb Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Posted April 26, 2009 Whatsis update: I showed them to Jim Linnell, and he knew what they were and most of the history. Jim's opinion is that these are extraordinarily rare, and all their value is in their rareness. Not much value as carving tools. We went through and got numbers off everything and there are only a few duplicates in this batch. Jim had not seen this many tools in one place before. He has no idea what constitutes a complete set, but thought this was pretty close. These are just his opinions, so don't write anything into Wikipedia or anything. So, unfortunately, these won't be inexpensive tools that I'm dumping. I doubt anyone wants them for their collector value, but if you are seriously interested, PM me. I think for now, they will just stay in their box, though I'll probaby get some metal protectant on them and pack them a tad better. Sorry for getting anyone's hopes up, that's what I get for opening my mouth wide enough for my size 12's. Brent Quote Brent Howard CALG, HLG

I was at a garage sale 2 years ago, and I had went there because the person advertised reloading stuff, i needed a lead pot, he had a monster, but it was a bullet making machine, i made a good deal on it, and soon as I got it home, the thermostat went out! So I went to the company to order a new one, $50.00, then I saw they sold new for $1250.00, I had a heart attack, I only told a couple people about it, and everyone wanted to buy it! Then a man came a long and made me a offer I couldn't turn down! I hope you make a ton!! Greg Quote
