Blue Point Tool and Die set #9900E size range NC- NE

[Al Istair]

Seeking information on my fathers old Blue Point tool and die #. 9900E, Size range NC- NE. The set is in a beautiful wooden case with split tray set inside. This was left to me by him when he passed. Looking for the year it was produced and what would the value of the set be these days.

Really nice.
(That is a TAP and die set.)

Thanks, yes it is very nice. I cant seem to find any like this on the interweb or any info about about it. Year produced, value.

Hello again. Can anyone help with an appraisal for this tool and die set to find out its worth. Thx

Pardon Our Interruption

Once you goto the above link then goto the big book page link from there

I would suggest that you goto the MSC page above and find a set that that has your size range and use that price as top dollar new. I would guess that your set is NC-NF or coarse and fine threads. Also try to determine if your set is carbon steel or HSS as that makes a difference in value. They should be marked HSS if they are. Once you determine that then I'd go 1/3 to 1/2 the price from MSC.

no neat sig line

Yes they are NC/NF. I don’t see any HSS markings on any tap or die etc. I’m assuming Blue Note is a good make (early snap on perhaps) The wooden case has dovetailed ends, in relatively good shape with a couple subtle marks. I don’t see any marking for HSS so I’m assuming carbon steel. Two dies replaced different make and two small ones are cracked in half. The rest all good. I looked at a page you recommended to get an idea on price. Theres a HSS set similar to mine in pieces made by GTD for 2395.90. But since mine is Carbon steel and used would be less, about 800..opinion? And thx 4 help.
