Blackhawk torpedo and socket set

[DadRob]

I am looking for someone who can give me an appraisal on my Blackhawk chrome socket set and its red torpedo case. I think it probably dates from the late 1940s. It was my father's, and I have had it since my mother's death in the late 1990s. If anyone can give me an idea of a contact for this, I would be most grateful.

I should add that I also have a complete set of Blackhawk Nuggies 1/4" drive sockets in the original Bakelite case.

X2 on pics, look on eBay under completed and sold of like items.

Search forum on "Blackhawk torpedo", "Black hawk torpedo" and "Nuggies." Several members own them and those threads will be informative for you. We've also had a few fun threads here watching how high the torpedoes go on eBay or CL when they pop up there. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the high price is $760 so far. As always, value depends on completeness and condition. To wit, we've also seen them go unsold at $500 when the reserve was not met. Hence the calls for pics.

Forgive this caveat if it doesn't apply, but if this turns out to be a ruse by an eBay seller to generate sales interest on a discussion board, I will be sorely ticked off, so I sure hope that's not the case.
