This one found its way into my vault... 😉

Congrats to the find. I found one last year in similar condition. How are you going to clean it - blasting?

I am pretty sure it will like its new home. Did the former owner knew the value?

And for the nugget fans: a 7/16 drive thin wall deep spark plug socket...

Me too. But I already have one like this. They seem to come to the light more often now. There is currently a similar but jounger set on ebay - priced even more...

You are very right. These days prices seem to explode on Blackhawk sets from before 50s. To your missing pieces: I have one universal 3/8" that I need myself and spares/doubles only 7818S and 7820S The 7814S I am missing too. But I have one 6618 socket. Oddly this comes with a release button...

Ahh, here went the nice set that just lately showed up on ebay. I recognise the chip in one socket... Great find and buy! He shurely was not right in describing it as 1" drive. Too sad that the handle bars were gone.

Might have some of them spare. Will look tomorrow.

I already thought of casting my own...

Great set and an awful lot of work in those huge lots. Looks like you have two of the 9004 socket release tools. If you ever could think of letting one go - I would really love to buy it for my set.

No I did not, but to complete my set I probably spend over 400 bucks as well. But then I had a second incomplete set I could sell...

What I sometimes do when I find ridiculously overpriced items, I make an ridiculous underrated offer... 🤣

Wise words... But it is still very hard to find gems these days when you type in "blackhawk tools" and not half of the results are blackhawk and the rest aint even tools...

For those of you that still want one of the non baldy and like digging into piles, take a closer look at this lot: https://www.ebay.com/itm/267101398768

If only the baldie would unscrew, one could mix them up... 🙃
