military meteor 5120-081-2302 ignition wrenches

Found this in my box today while sorting. Collectible, or in with the mongrel stuff to get rid of as a lot?

I remember using these in the 70's and 80's when that's all I had in the small wrench sizes.

I've got an orphan 9/16" Meteor offset ignition wrench.
It lives in my smallest toolbox drawer with a Western Auto Wizard 3/8" combo and a couple other ******* stepchildren of inderminate lineage.

I wouldn't call them collectible, Dave, although there may be someone out there looking for a set, and, while Meteor (Buffalo area) wrenches are fairly common due to a bunch of military contracts they won at that time, they aren't that commonly found in the vinyl roll-up. That 11-digit FSN dates them to no later than 1978, when the DLA moved to a 13-digit FSN. That and the military nomenclature on the marking might move them in one of your markets.

Not so fast!! I put a set on daBay, along with a ratchet, and they actually sold!
still have a day or two to go, but, hey, $5 w/free shipping is still better than scrap!
