I do believe that they were made from the early 70s-mid 80's. I think it was some kind of special collectors edition or somthing.

In the pics they do look worn due to the angle and sloped curves, they don't look like they have ever seen a nut though

usually the price shoots up in the last few seconds but prices are relative to feedback as well, you have 100% positive but only 4 as a seller. keep building your rep as a seller and you will get better prices for your items.

that being said, I hope you get $ or more, I wish I could buy them. Nice set man!

That will restock a tool fund. For the record, it looks like the wrenches sold for $380 + 18 shipping. Do you mind sharing what you paid, now that they're sold?

*In his best Antiques Roadshow voice* "In a retail setting, I'd value this set right around $400. It's a great set, thanks for bringing them in."

I had a set like that over twenty seven years ago. When my uncle knew that I had became a state certified auto mechanic he gave them to me for Christmas. He said that he bought them for working on magnetic imaging machines. I worked at a body shop / auto dealer when they were stolen. All I can say is that was a sweet find and you'll probably never see another set like them
