Nice SK sets!

 

[zcbauer89]

Very nice! That's some money well spent on well made US tools.

I'd get those chisels onto the grinder to remove the mushroom-tops, but other than that, nice score.

 

[dlcwent]

Sweet find. Would you like your money back?

 

[Stooge]

is than an Appleton? that could easily be worth the $125 by itself!

Agree.

Great score! It never gets old toting home some golden oldies. I love finding the old s-k sets still in their tin boxes.

 

[PFSard]

Great hits. Love those SK sets. Just to start.

OK. I'll bite. What's an Appleton? And why is it worth $125?

It's the spot light. They're desirable to certain custom car guys.

The spotlight is a Casco model J, and it works.

Appletons are also very popular in the bomb/lowrider community. Particularly 112's and some other model I can't remember the number of. Price is dependent on many things, but if a couple people really want the same spot light to finish a car for shows, it's going to run up high. Pitting, repairs needed to chrome, and the state of the plastic parts all weigh into what it is going to sell for.
