I'm going to try and get my tool collection down to a more enjoyable size, by keeping for myself only a few certain brands and styles (plus any special tools which interest me...especially). Anyway, I plan to do that by selling off certain brand collections. Then I can sort my other tools, and more easily find out what I am missing to fill in all the gaps and holes in my sets.
ALERT: See the special package deal price at the end of this listing!
I am starting out with these "Blue Grass" brand tools, which were offered by the giant Belknap hardware organization in Louisville, KY. First up is a 3/8 drive SAE socket and ratchet set, complete in its original molded plastic case.
It is a 25-piece set, complete, with every part marked clearly with the "Blue Grass" name.
This set is in excellent shape. I did not find a single bit of rust, owner marks, or chrome peeling on any pieces at all. However, the paper label on the box is trying to peel off, slowly.
PRICE: $40, plus actual shipping cost (This boxed set MIGHT fit into a US Postal Medium Flat Rate Box, at $11.35 shipping in the USA.) If not, I will ship it via UPS Ground.
Next up is a Blue Grass brand metal tool box.
It is 20" long, and has an embossed aluminum name tag on the lid, with an address which is clearly pre-zip code age.
The box has been oversprayed with black paint, but inside you can tell it used to be blue. There is light rust inside, and I do not have a tray for it.
PRICE: $18, plus actual shipping cost. In the USA, it will be shipped via UPS Ground.
NOTE: The $20 price tag is for the empty box alone; no tools are included.

1-1/8" shallow, 1/2" drive, 12 point - Price: $3
1-1/16" shallow, 1/2" drive, 12 point - Price: $3
