I have lots of older hand-me-down Snap On tools that I just looked up the date code stamps on. Most are 1955 & 1956 with some as early as 1948.
I have ratchets, T handles, speed wrenchs, large metric socket assortment in 1/2 and 3/8, SAE sockets, full set of "Blue Point professional" open end wrenches (these are some of the oldest), etc. Probably 80+ pieces total.
These have been in my boxes for about 30 years with very light occasional use (home mechanic stuff) during that time. All are in great service condition with great tool edges and no non-cosmetic damage. Much of it is also in very good or excellent cosmetic condition. Many of the sockets are not as nice and have some light to medium surface corrosion.
So... the question:

So... the question:
What should I do with these tools? I could happily put them back in my box and just continue to use them (mostly as duplicates) for another few decades.. I have no interest in keeping them as any sort of "collectible".
Are these tools that people are likely to be interested in?
Would they have similar value to say lightly used 5-10 year old Snap-On tools?
More?
