Scored a smoking deal on some tools and stuff

[doublehbar]

I had to come share! Saw a leather tool lot go up for sale on Facebook last night. I was told this morning that they were pending sale, and as it turns out, the person flaked. So of course I jumped on it. I do want to build up to quality tools, but couldn't pass this deal up. The lady bought all this stuff from Tandy around 30 years ago, so maybe the stuff is better quality than I realize. All told, there are 41 tooling stamps and everything else pictured, with the exception of the hole punch her husband couldn't let go of. lol I did good, right?

Thank you! Now if all my real life responsibilities would leave me alone so I can play...

Looks like you scored a sweet deal, congratulations!  The letter stamps alone are worth @$35 a set.

Heck the stapler is 60 bucks. Great score. I bet it is all the better quality Tandy stuff.

Thank you! I was pretty excited when the woman selling the stuff told me that the person before me flaked. I had originally thought that one of the alphabet sets was a repeat of a set I already bought. Found out when I got home that it wasn't, so now I have four sets. Haven't used any yet, but I am sure that I will soon.

Thank you for helping me figure out what the one tool was. I had no idea that it was a stapler. lol Ever heard of Todd Hadley brand? 

I have seen people talk of the older Tandy stamps and say that they were a good quality before. I remember seeing a thread on here too about how to determine the age of the Tandy tools and now I don't remember where I saw it.

As for this deal, I call it a God thing. Just happened to spot it on Fb 30 minutes after it was posted and was lucky enough to be second in line. Doesn't happen often for me, but when it does I have to give credit where credit is due.

Congratulations you got a steal of a deal. Goes back to the saying “it’s handyer than a Tandy tool”
