Attention Blackhawk collectors!

[Steven67fr]

I've scoured a few blackhawk threads trying to gather this info but obviously this verys a LOT! I hit the swapmeet and estate sale very frequently and often see pretty old and nice blackhawk stuff. I see there are members here that have an affinity for blackhawk stuff. Could any or all of you pit lists of the types of items/vintages that are desireable... That way I can pick it up and pass it along th people that will enjoy it rather than leaving it sitting as is.

Thanks!

What is a free wheel ratchet

Any lock on sockets 11/16 and smaller also a note for finding pre new Brittian blackhawk is by looking for a number date code if it has a number date code it is very likely pre new Brittian because new Brittian bought them out around 1956 so any tools with a date code pre dates 1956.

Plus, late 30's to late 40's tool catalogs, ads, displays, late 30's to mid 50's hydraulic jack catalogs/ads, and 7/16 " drive ("Nugget") or 1/4" drive ("Nuggie") tool boxes or sets.

Thanks!!
