Ace Super Set Tap & Die?

[Trainman]

Looking at an Ace Super Set of taps/dies on CL. Looks to be from the 60's/70's. Perhaps made by Greenfield? Anyone familiar with that brand? Thanks.

I have my eye on a set on CL but the guy wants an arm & leg plus my car and my first born child, oh and maybe Ohio state tickets.

I don't think it was Greenfield but rather made by Hanson for the old super set.

I have a couple old Ace super sets and they were made by Hanson.

yes it was made by Henry L. Hanson and not greenfield for the old super set.

Funny thing but several weeks ago my wife wanted to go on a small road trip and about 60 miles away I walked into an old store and spied two nos ace taps with three inches of dust and a price tag to boot for $2.89 each.

Today it comes from China and maybe next year from India or somewhere else...I guess it is the new Global economy.

I have a Ace super set, that belonged to my dad. They were made by Hanson, and are great pieces, that I still use to this day.
